At least 100 North Korean soldiers were killed and another 1,000 were injured during fierce fighting with Ukrainian troops in Kursk region, South Korean intelligence said.
North Korean troops have already suffered significant losses in the Kursk region. This is due to the North Korean troops' lack of experience in using drones and their lack of familiarity with the open terrain in which they will have to fight.
According to Censor.NET with reference to Reuters, this was stated by a member of the South Korean parliament, Lee Sung-gwon, citing intelligence data.
According to Lee, the discrepancy in the estimate of the number of killed soldiers with the data of a US military official, who named several hundred victims, is explained by the relatively conservative analysis of the National Intelligence Service.
"At least 100 people are reported to have been killed, and the number of wounded is approaching 1,000," he said.
According to Lee, there are signs that the DPRK is preparing for additional troop deployments.
The report repeats the comments of US and Ukrainian officials that North Korea's losses are high and that Russia is using them in large numbers for its offensive in the Kursk region.
As a reminder, the Pentagon said that DPRK troops in Russia could have lost "several hundred" soldiers killed and wounded.
