Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that Ukrainian forces operating in the Kursk region of Russia have captured two North Korean soldiers. The soldiers, who were wounded, were transported to Kyiv for communication with the Security Service of Ukraine.
Reports indicate that around 11,000 North Korean troops are deployed in the Kursk region, where Ukrainian forces have occupied several hundred square kilometers since a cross-border incursion in August last year. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken mentioned that over 1,000 North Korean forces were killed or wounded in Kursk in the last week of December.
