Ukraine Captures Two Wounded North Korean Soldiers

Ukraine has captured two wounded North Korean soldiers in the Kursk region, marking the first confirmed detention of North Korean troops since their deployment to assist Russian forces. President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that the soldiers are now in Kyiv and are being interrogated by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU). He highlighted the difficulty of the capture due to Russian and North Korean forces executing their own wounded to prevent evidence of North Korean involvement in the conflict. The soldiers are receiving medical assistance, and Zelensky has instructed that media access be granted to showcase the situation. This incident may provide vital intelligence on the collaboration between North Korea and Russia, as estimates suggest that up to 12,000 North Korean troops are involved in the war. Reports indicate that Russia has been disguising North Korean soldiers with fake identities to conceal their presence on the battlefield.
