North Korea has reportedly dispatched a second group of soldiers to Russia, with South Korean intelligence confirming that 1,500 elite troops have begun training in Russia’s Far East as part of a planned 10,000-strong North Korean force. This comes after initial waves of North Korean weapons, including eight million artillery rounds and 100 Hwasong-11 missiles, were supplied to bolster Russia’s operations in Ukraine. This unprecedented support signifies North Korea’s strategic alliance with Russia and raises concerns about heightened tensions and shifting alliances on the global stage.
