Summary
A captured Russian soldier claimed North Korean troops stationed in Russia’s Kursk region endangered their allies by mistakenly firing on their own unit.
Video footage purportedly shows the soldier describing how North Koreans fired in the wrong direction during an assault, reportedly killing two Russian soldiers. North Korea has deployed around 8,000 troops to support Russia, raising international concerns about escalating conflict dynamics.
In return, North Korea is reportedly receiving money, food, and space technology from Russia. Moscow plans to form multiple units of North Korean soldiers integrated with Russian ethnic minorities.
Amusing as that is, I’m pretty sure it’s happened in every war since time began, and will continue to happen until we’re back at sticks and stones.
I’m surprised Ukraine and Russia didn’t get together at the start of the war to decide who was skins and who was shirts so they knew what team was what. Would have been easier for the NKs to remember which white person was the bad one.
