Our government officially confirmed the dispatch of North Korean troops, right?

[Reporter]
The National Intelligence Service (NIS) officially confirmed yesterday that some 1,500 North Korean special forces troops were dispatched to Russia.

According to the National Intelligence Service, North Korean soldiers have already traveled to Vladivostok using a Russian naval transport ship since the 8th and have been dispersed to surrounding areas such as Khabarovsk to train for adaptation.

Earlier, the possibility of North Korean troops sending troops to Russia has been discussed, but this is the first time the NIS has officially confirmed the fact that they have sent troops on a large scale.

The NIS predicted that they will be deployed to the Ukrainian front as soon as they complete their adaptation training.

It is known that North Korean soldiers were given Russian uniforms and weapons to disguise themselves as Russian soldiers and even issued counterfeit identification cards of native Siberian people with similar appearance.

The NIS also disclosed that North Korean State Councilor Kim Jong-un visited special warfare units twice last month and this month before sending troops.

In addition, North Korea has sent 13,000 containers of weapons to Russia more than 70 times since August last year.

He then said that the second transportation operation will take place soon, and predicted that the final number of troops would exceed 10,000.

North Korea, which claims to infiltrate South Korean drones into Pyongyang, has released photos of the wreckage of the drones, calling it decisive evidence?

[Reporter]
Yes, North Korea continued its claim of drone penetration again today through the announcement of a spokesman for the Ministry of National Defense.

It also released a new photo, saying it was decisive evidence of a sovereignty violation case.

In the photos released by North Korea, white drones are hung on branches, and you can also see the drone lowered to the ground and taken.

North Korea said on the 13th that it found the drone during an intensive search in Pyongyang.

He then claimed that the analysis by a specialized agency determined that the South Korean military drone operation command was the same type of drone that was unveiled at the last Armed Forces Day celebration.

Considering the appearance of the drone, the estimated time of flight, and the fact that the flyer was attached, it is highly likely that it was used to spray leaflets in Pyongyang, but added that the conclusion is still undecided.

North Korea also published the announcement of a spokesman for the Ministry of National Defense in the Rodong Sinmun, which is viewed by residents.

The South Korean military authorities have expressed their position that it is neither worth confirming nor replying to North Korea's claims regarding the infiltration of drones.
