Special Operations Forces fighters conducted a sweep of enemy positions in the Kursk region. They inflicted significant losses on the enemy in personnel and captured important enemy trophies.

This was reported by RBK-Ukraine citing the Telegram channel of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

During the battle, SSO operators eliminated two North Korean soldiers. Additionally, with drone drops, our warriors destroyed 7 occupiers, and another 10 were injured.

Moreover, operators of the 8th SSO regiment discovered and captured at the enemy positions:

• individual protective equipment and military gear of the occupiers, a rangefinder "DL-5";
• thermal imaging sight "1PN139-1";
• assault rifle AK-12 with sight "1P87";
• communication equipment that may contain data about the enemy's movements and plans.

Additionally, enemy documents were found. The captured trophies, particularly the equipment and documents, will provide important information about the enemy's tactics and resources.

Fighting in the Kursk Region

At the end of summer last year, Ukrainian forces captured significant territories in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation. This led Russia to be forced to involve soldiers from North Korea in combat operations. However, due to inadequate training and a lack of a common language, the North Korean troops suffered significant losses.

Earlier, RBK-Ukraine reported that North Korean soldiers were brought to Russia by ferry and then by train. According to one of the prisoners among the North Korean troops, they were in complete information isolation.
