North Korean troops recently killed Russian soldiers in a friendly fire attack, according to Ukrainian intelligence.
Russian paramilitary soldiers were accidentally targeted and killed by North Korean troops in a recent bout of friendly fire, according to Ukrainian officials. In a statement published on Saturday, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine detailed how Democratic People's Republic of Korea soldiers have recently assisted Russian troops in the Kursk Oblast, which is currently occupied by Ukrainian forces. Ukrainian officials estimate that around 11,000 DPRK personnel are stationed in Russia.
Because of this problem, North Korean soldiers opened ‘friendly fire’ on the vehicles of the so-called Akhmat battalion,' the DIU added. 'As a result, they killed eight Kadyrovite soldiers.' This latest development in the Russo-Ukrainian war came as the Russian military continued to pummel Ukraine’s power grid, taking advantage of freezing conditions to devastate the country’s largest energy company.
