The Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense (DIU) announced that 8 Chechen soldiers lost their lives as a result of North Korean soldiers in the Kursk region opening “friendly fire” on Chechen Akhmat units fighting on behalf of Russia.
SOUNDING CLAIM FROM UKRAINIAN INTELLIGENCE
While the repercussions of North Korea sending troops to Russia to fight against Ukraine continue, a breaking claim came from the Intelligence Department of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense (DIU). In the statement made by DIU, it was reported that 8 Chechen soldiers lost their lives as a result of North Korean soldiers sent to the Kursk region opening “friendly fire” on Chechen Akhmat units fighting on behalf of Russia.
BECAUSE OF ‘MISUNDERSTANDING’
It was noted in the statement that the accident was a result of the language barrier between Russian and North Korean troops, and it was emphasized that this obstacle continued to cause difficulties on the front.
THEY CAME FOR SUPPORT
It is known that the units affiliated with Chechen leader Ramazan Kadyrov, who came to the fore with his support for Russian President Vladimir Putin, fought alongside the Russian army against Ukraine. It is stated that North Korea sent approximately 12 thousand soldiers to the front to support Russia.
