The US Ministry of Defense has published new estimates regarding the participation of North Korean troops in the war against Ukraine on the side of the Russian Federation, noting that more than 11,000 North Korean troops have been deployed near Kursk.
This was stated by Pentagon Deputy Spokesperson Sabrina Singh during a briefing for journalists, writes Ukrinform.
“According to our estimates, probably more than 11,000 North Koreans have relocated to the Kursk region,” said a representative of the US Department of Defense.
She noted that last week's estimate of the number of North Korean troops was between 10,000 and 11,000.
At the same time, Singh confirmed that, according to intelligence, the Russians began to involve North Korean units directly in hostilities. According to her, the Pentagon expects all of them to participate in combat.
