US confirms North Korea sends troops to Russia for military training

The U.S. has confirmed that North Korea has sent troops to Russia, with reports indicating around 3,000 North Korean soldiers are receiving training on drones and military equipment. This marks a significant development in North Korea-Russia relations. South Korean intelligence suggests that North Korea plans to deploy a total of 10,000 troops to Russia by December. The North Korean soldiers are reportedly being trained by Russian instructors, who have noted their morale but expressed concerns about their lack of modern warfare experience. In response to these developments, South Korea is considering supplying weapons to Ukraine, a shift from its previous policy of providing only humanitarian aid. The situation has raised security concerns in South Korea regarding potential military cooperation between Russia and North Korea.
