Russia-Ukraine war: North Korea deploys 400-strong drone unit to aid Putin — Report
Ukrainian Defence Intelligence said that there are already 8,500 North Korean soldiers stationed in Russia.
North Korean military authorities have dismissed a frontline serviceman stationed in Hamhung, following the revelation that his wife has a Chinese relative. While some within his unit suspect a power struggle for his position, others posit the real motive was his wife's distant Chinese connection. The officer, who served in the rear services department of a Seventh Corps division, learned about the discharge when his commanders delivered the news.
Background checks typically flag issues with a spouse and immediate family, but seldom probe beyond; hence, the relative's background escaped detection for years. Speculation is rife that jealousy over his well-off rear services post and the political security department's resentment could have exacerbated the officer's downfall.
