US EditionKim Praises NK Troops Who Self-Detonated in Kursk
- North Korean leader Kim Jong Un praised soldiers in Kursk for choosing the "path of self-detonation" to avoid capture, confirming extreme battle policies Ukraine observed in 2024.
- Pyongyang sent an estimated 14,000 elite infantry to help Russia retake Kursk, a region Ukraine attacked in late 2024. Officials estimate more than 6,000 North Korean soldiers died during the fighting.
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated in December 2024 that "Russian military personnel and North Korean supervisors are not at all interested in the survival of North Koreans." Troops engaged in high-casualty frontal assaults rather than cautious maneuvers.
- During a memorial ceremony on Monday, Kim lauded fallen troops as "heroes" while Moscow's defense minister, Andrei Belousov, attended the event, symbolizing deepening Russia-North Korea military ties.
- Beyond troop deployments, North Korea supplies Russia with artillery and ballistic missiles. Western officials worry combat experience gained in Kursk enhances North Korean capabilities for future conflicts.
