Ukraine's military intelligence service has claimed it has caused fatal and irreparable losses to airlift units and marines that are joined by North Korean and Russian forces.

At the same time, he said that the number of deaths reached 200, but he did not confirm how much North Korean troops were included.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also said Russia had begun mobilizing a significant number of North Korean troops in Kursk, but did not give an exact figure.

[Volodymyr Zelensky / Ukrainian President: There is already preliminary data showing that Russia has deployed a significant number of soldiers from North Korea to attack. Russia has put North Korean troops into allied forces and put them into operations in the Kursk region. That's all for now.]

Earlier, the Ukrainian military released photos and videos of dozens of soldiers on its Telegram channel, saying they were North Korean soldiers killed in Kursk.

However, the image quality is not clear, so it seems unclear whether it is a North Korean soldier's body.

Ukraine also reported that eight people were killed when the North Korean military mistook the Russian special forces as an enemy and fired.

This is an accident caused by the North Korean military's language barrier, and it is analyzed that there is a big problem in communication.

The Russian side is also saying that the North Korean military has been deployed to the battle of Kursk, but the decision is completely different.

Russian military bloggers claimed that the North Korean army broke through a 2km minefield in two hours and killed about 300 Ukrainian soldiers, and that only a few North Korean casualties were fighting well.
