US promises firm response to North Korean troops joining Russia in Ukraine conflict

abc.net.au — November 13, 2024, 08:01 PM UTC

The U.S. has pledged a "firm response" to reports of North Korean troops fighting alongside Russian forces in Ukraine. This follows a mutual defense agreement between North Korea and Russia, allowing an estimated 10,000 North Korean soldiers to join the conflict. South Korea's intelligence agency confirmed that North Korean troops are now engaged in frontline combat in Ukraine. They have reportedly moved to the Kursk region, coinciding with increased Russian troop movements in the area. In related developments, Russia launched a missile and drone attack on Kyiv, marking the first assault on the capital in 70 days. Ukraine's air force intercepted several missiles and drones, as President Zelenskyy called for more air defense support from Western allies.
