The Russian army command continues to deploy North Korean military personnel to support operations in the Sumy region due to critical personnel losses and failed offensive actions in this direction.
According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, North Korean units from the Kursk region conduct reconnaissance using drones, identify Ukrainian positions, and assist in adjusting fire on Ukrainian defenders in the Sumy region.
The defense forces have recorded communications between North Korean drone operators and Russian army personnel. The North Korean UAV operators coordinated fire from multiple-launch rocket systems on Ukrainian positions.
The General Staff emphasizes that all documented instances of foreign forces participating in the armed aggression are being recorded.
“Units involved in the aggression against Ukraine will be neutralized in accordance with the laws and rules of warfare,” the General Staff stated.
