21 North Koreans Killed, 40 Wounded In Failed Kursk Assault

North Koreans troops are learning the hard way about modern warfare. JL

Valentyna Romanenko reports in Ukraine Pravda:

Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces killed 21 and wounded 40 North Korean soldiers who were advancing on Ukrainian positions in Russia’s Kursk Oblast. The 8th SOF Regiment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces used small arms and grenade launchers to repel an assault of North Korean soldiers which lasted for over eight hours. Only a third of the SOF group’s ammunition was left by the ninth hour of the battle.

Details: The operatives from the 8th SOF Regiment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, alongside friendly infantry troops, used small arms and grenade launchers to repel an assault of North Korean soldiers fighting on the side of Russia which lasted for over eight hours. Snipers also participated in the operation.

 

Only a third of the SOF group’s ammunition was left by the ninth hour of the battle. The rest had been used to fight off the North Korean forces.

The operatives made the decision to exfiltrate (a military tactic for quickly withdrawing a group from the battlefield to a safe location).
