On the 27th, the National Intelligence Service stated regarding the rumors of additional North Korean troop deployments to Ukraine, "It appears that some additional deployments have occurred," adding, "The exact scale is still being determined."


Previously, in October last year, North Korea deployed approximately 11,000 troops to Russia. These deployed North Korean forces underwent training and were sent to the western Ukrainian Kursk front, where they engaged in combat with Ukrainian forces, reportedly resulting in about 4,000 casualties to date.


Therefore, this additional deployment is interpreted as an effort to replenish lost troops. However, the exact number of these forces and whether they have been assigned to the active combat zone at the Kursk front remain unknown.
