More than 1,000 North Korean military casualties in Ukraine war, says South Korea. More than 1,000 North Korean soldiers have been killed or wounded since they were sent to fight alongside Russian troops in Ukraine, according to South Korean military officials.
On Monday, South’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said: “We assess North Korean troops, who have recently engaged in combat with Ukrainian forces, have suffered around 1,100 casualties.” The JCS did not say how many troops had been killed in action, the claims underline risks posed to North’s untested armed forces, amid reports the regime is poised to send further reinforcements to Ukraine.
Last week South Korea’s spy agency claimed at least 100 North Korean troops died in conflict since being sent into combat this month. The high number of casualties could be attributed to the “unfamiliar battlefield environment, the North Korean forces are being used as expendable frontline assault units, & their lack of capability to counter drone attacks”
