North Korea prepares to send more troops to Russia after suffering casualties, South Korea says - South Korea suspects North Korea plans to send more troops to Russia after heavy losses in Ukraine

North Korea has not responded to reports of its troops captured or killed by Ukraine forces. It has never publicised the deployment or large shipments of North Korean artillery shells and other weapons sent to Russia to help its war against Ukraine, although they marked the country’s first intervention in a major armed conflict overseas in decades.
