“When DPRK troops are deployed on the battlefield, the language barrier remains a difficult obstacle to command, control and cohesion. Due to this problem, the North Korean soldiers started ‘friendly fire’ on the vehicles of the so-called of the Achmat battalion. As a result, eight Kadyrov people were killed,” HUR said on its Telegram account.
It added that North Korean troops have already suffered the first “sanitary and irreversible losses” as a result of the successful fire attack by Ukrainian forces.
“Specifically, at one of the positions in the Kursk region, the DPRK army was effectively ‘covered’ by drones. The estimated losses of units occupied by Russian and North Korean personnel as of December 14, 2024 amount to approximately 200 soldiers,” HUR wrote.

The directorate reminded that there are about 11 thousand North Korean soldiers on the territory of Russia. “In the places of their deployment, the aggressor introduced a special regime of counter-intelligence – Russian soldiers and officers are controlled by the FSB (Russian secret service, editor’s note)their phones and other devices are confiscated before they are allowed to enter areas where North Korean troops are located,” Ukrainian agents inform.
The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi, announced on Saturday afternoon that there are already preliminary data on the deployment of soldiers from North Korea. According to him, this is a considerable number.
“The Russians include them in combined units and use them in operations in the Kursk region. So far only there. But we have information that they can be used in other parts of the queue. Losses in this category are already noticeable,” said Zelenskyy according to Ukrainska pravda.
He emphasized that Moscow involved another country in the war. “She involved her as much as possible. And if this is not an escalation, then what is the escalation that many were talking about?” said Zelenskyj. According to him, Russian President Vladimir Putin rejects the possibility of peace and wants more problems in Asia and the world. “That’s why the Russians are training North Korea in modern warfare,” he added.
