(International) “North Korean troops appear in Mariupol and Kharkov”…Will the front line be expanded?

(Anchor)
Reports that North Korean troops stationed in Russia were stationed in Kursk emerged across the border in Mariupol and Kharkov.

Attention is focused on whether the scope of North Korean military involvement will expand in line with Russia’s massive offensive.

I’m a YouTube reporter covering this report.

North Korean troops crossed the Ukrainian border into Mariupol, a port city on the Black Sea coast.
CNN reports with reference to Ukrainian sources.
North Korean technical advisers arrived in Mariupol.

They wore Russian military uniforms, but say they live separately from the Russian military, for example in separate premises.

Mariupol is a military center where Russia fell again after three months of intense fighting.

CNN reported that the purpose of the North Korean military’s visit is still unclear.

Some are also talking about the relationship between North Korea’s 170mm self-propelled artillery and the new 240mm multiple launch rocket system, coupled with the situation on the eastern front where Russia is stepping up its offensive.

North Korean troops were also seen in Kharkov, the main front in the northeast.

A Ukrainian military official said they confirmed the presence of North Korean troops through radio intercepts.

Earlier, Ukrainian President Zelensky said the number of troops could increase to 100,000, signaling the possibility of increased intervention by the North Korean military.

In the event of the transfer of North Korean troops to Kursk, full participation in the battle is inevitable.

(US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin): North Korean troops stationed in Kursk are integrated into the Russian military organization. Hope you join the fight soon.)

Tensions are rising over whether North Korea will send more troops on a larger scale as Russia launched a new nuclear-capable missile in defiance of NATO permission to strike long-range missiles.
