North Korean sappers returned to their homeland from Russia

North Korean military personnel operated in Russia for three months and have returned to their country. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

This was reported by the Korean Central News Agency. In Pyongyang, the military personnel were personally welcomed by the country's leader Kim Jong Un.

According to Kim Jong Un, North Korean sappers successfully completed their tasks in Russia's Kursk region. Praising their activities highly, Kim Jong Un said: "Our military turned a very complex area into a safe place in a short time.

This is the result of their devoted labor." It is reported that North Korean sappers operated in Russia for 120 days, during which nine soldiers died. DPRK officials usually do not provide detailed information about the military activities in Russia, and this topic is limited to the phrase "operation abroad."

According to South Korean intelligence, Pyongyang sent about 15,000 soldiers to Russia, of whom 6,000 were killed. North Korean officials have not provided exact information on this matter, although in April of this year they confirmed the presence of their military personnel participating in the Russia-Ukraine war.
