Battle between North Korea and Ukraine begins in earnest... "200 soldiers killed in mixed units between North Korea and Russia."

News has been reported from both Ukraine and Russia that the fighting between North Korean and Ukrainian troops sent to Russian forces is in full swing.

Ukraine's military intelligence agency, the DIU, said on its website on the 14th local time that airlift units and marines, a hybrid of North Korean and Russian forces, had suffered fatal and irreparable losses from the attack on Ukraine.

"The estimated death toll of combat units consisting of Russian and North Korean soldiers has reached 200 so far," the DIU said, but did not mention the proportion of the North Korean military.

Although the outcome of the fighting was different, there were also claims from the Russian side that the North Korean military was sending combat troops to Kursk in earnest.

Russian military bloggers reported the North Korean military's criminal record in a post on the 13th, saying that the North Korean military recaptured a Kursk village.

Earlier, the Ukrainian military's "414th Attack Drone Regiment" released photos and videos of dozens of North Korean soldiers killed on the Kursk front on its Telegram channel, but it is unclear whether they are actual North Korean bodies.
