At least 100 North Korean soldiers were killed and another 1,000 wounded during the fighting on the Russian side in Kursk, South Korean lawmaker Lee Sun-won told reporters after a briefing with intelligence officials, BBC News reported.
According to him, high-ranking officials are among the dead. He explained this circumstance, as well as the rather large number of losses, by the fact that the North Korean military was not familiar with the area and had not encountered drones before.
Therefore, according to the deputy, the North Korean forces are "being used as expendable material." "It is said that the Russian military is complaining that the North Korean soldiers, due to their lack of knowledge about drones, are more of a headache than an active force," said the deputy. :
