North Korea suffers first casualties in war: At least 30 soldiers killed

The Ukrainian intelligence agency reported that at least 30 North Korean soldiers were killed or wounded in the Kursk region of Russia. Initial estimates suggested that more than 10,000 North Korean soldiers were involved in the fighting. Experts have warned that continued North Korean involvement, especially if its troop numbers are increased over time, could have serious consequences. Some analysts suggest that these 10,000 North Korean soldiers could be a benchmark for assessing the effectiveness of Kim Jong Un’s army on foreign soil.
