“North Korean assaults suffer disastrous losses with little to no results”
Kyiv Independent reports:
North Korean troops suffer over 1,000 losses in Kursk Oblast in past week, White House official says
“North Korean troops are experiencing mass casualties while fighting alongside Russian forces against Ukraine in Kursk Oblast, White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said on Dec. 27.
The comments come a day after Ukraine’s military intelligence agency (HUR) on Dec. 26 reported that North Korean troops had suffered heavy losses in Kursk Oblast.
The White House believes more than 1,000 North Korean troops have been killed or wounded over the past week alone, Kirby said in a press briefing.
“It is clear that Russian and North Korean military leaders are treating these troops as expendable and ordering them on hopeless assaults against Ukrainian defenses,” he said.“
