North Korea Is Sending More Troops to Russia, South Korea's Spy Agency Says
Briefly

On Thursday, South Korea's National Intelligence Service reported that North Korea reinvited troops into frontline combat in the Russia-Ukraine war, deploying up to 3,000 more soldiers since January. Earlier, they had sent around 11,000 troops late last year to support Russia's efforts to reclaim territory lost to Ukraine. However, these soldiers faced severe losses and were pulled back after suffering casualties from drone strikes. Now, they have resumed their roles, indicating North Korea's adaptation and learning from real combat, alongside concerns over their potential exchange of resources with Russia.
Despite its heavy losses, North Korea has reportedly sent up to 3,000 additional troops to assist Russian forces in Ukraine, marking continued military involvement.
Indicators suggest North Korea is gaining insight into modern warfare through its involvement, even as it suffers significant casualties on the battlefield.
