Several hundred North Korean soldiers were killed or wounded in the Kursk region, the Associated Press agency reported on December 18, citing a high-ranking military official. This is the first assessment of the losses of the North Korean contingent fighting on the side of Russia, AP notes.

The source did not specify how many North Korean troops were killed, saying only that North Korea suffered significant losses because its troops do not have combat experience.

Earlier, the Pentagon and the White House reported that the North Korean military suffered losses in the first battles in the Kursk region, but did not provide details.

According to the US authorities, North Korean infantry are mainly involved in the fighting. Military personnel from the DPRK participate in battles in the Kursk region both together with Russian units and independently.

According to the estimate given by interlocutors of the agency, during the invasion of Ukraine, Russia loses up to 1,200 servicemen killed and wounded every day. However, so far, they believe, it manages to compensate for the loss of personnel.

According to the USA, South Korea and Ukraine, 10,000 to 12,000 North Korean soldiers arrived in Russia in October. They were involved in the war on the side of Russia, units of the DPRK are used in the Kursk region. According to AP sources, Russian forces have regained control of 20% of the territory of the Kursk region, which the Ukrainian military occupied during the offensive that began in August.
