KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine’s military intelligence agency is claiming that around 30 North Korean troops were killed or wounded in fighting against the Ukrainian army at the weekend in Russia’s Kursk border region. The agency said the North Korean casualties occurred around three villages in Kursk, where Russia has for four months been trying to quash a Ukrainian incursion. It was not possible to independently verify the Ukrainian claims, which are the first reports of North Korean casualties in the almost 3-year war. Neither the Kremlin nor the Russian Defense Ministry commented. North Korea is believed to have sent about 10,000 troops to Russia.
