First North Korean deaths reported in Russia-Ukraine conflict

ABC  

North Korean troops have been killed during combat against Ukrainian forces, the first reported casualties since North Korea sent troops to support Russia, according to US and Ukrainian authorities. About 30 North Korean troops were killed or wounded during a battle with the Ukrainian army over the weekend in Russia's Kursk border region, according to Ukraine's military intelligence agency. The White House also said it believed North Korean troops were on the "front lines" of Russia's war and were "actively engaged in combat operations" against Ukraine. US national security spokesman John Kirby confirmed the assessment after Ukraine's government said North Korean troops had moved from support roles into direct fighting on behalf of Russia.
