North Korea sends more troops to support Russia

South Korea's spy agency reported that North Korea has sent more troops to Russia to support its military efforts in Ukraine. This follows heavy casualties among North Korean soldiers already deployed in the conflict. The National Intelligence Service is investigating the exact number of additional troops sent. North Korean forces were reportedly redeployed in Russia's Kursk region after a temporary withdrawal earlier this month. Concerns remain that Russia may provide North Korea with advanced weapons technology in exchange for military support. Recent diplomatic talks between Russia and the US signal a shift in foreign policy, with implications for North Korea's military strategy.
