The Radio Free Asia portal reported that North Korean soldiers who have died in Russia are being posthumously inducted into the Workers' Party of Korea. Families are not informed about the circumstances of their deaths or their involvement in the conflict.

North Korean troops have been deployed to bolster Russian forces in the Kursk border region with Ukraine, where they are gaining battlefield experience despite initial heavy losses.

North Korea is “significantly benefiting” from its troops gaining battlefield experience fighting alongside Russian forces as it makes them more capable of waging war against rivals South Korea and Japan, a US official warned the UN.

"I didn't even know who we were fighting against," the captured soldier from Pyongyang told Ukraine's Security Service.

Soldiers of the 8th Regiment of Ukraine's Special Operations Forces resisted an assault of North Korean soldiers in Russia’s Kursk Oblast for eight hours, killing 21 and wounding 40, the unit said on Jan.

Ukrainian soldiers from the 95th Airborne Assault Brigade have shared how they captured a North Korean soldier in Russia's Kursk Oblast. Attempting to avoid capture, he hit his head on a concrete pole and lost consciousness.

Ukrainian forces detailed the capture of a North Korean soldier on the western Kursk front in Russia on Tuesday.
