SEOUL, Feb. 27 (Korea Bizwire) — North Korea appears to have deployed additional troops to support Russia’s war against Ukraine, although the number of recently deployed troops is being assessed, South Korea’s spy agency said Thursday.
“Following about a monthlong lull, North Korean troops were placed back in the frontline region of Kursk starting in the first week of February,” the National Intelligence Service (NIS) said in a note to the press.
“It appears that there has been a deployment of additional troops, but their size is still being examined,” the NIS said.
