U.S. confirms North Korean troop movement to Kursk, Russia

💬 Following South Korea and NATO's confirmation, the U.S. has also acknowledged North Korean soldiers' presence in Russia's Kursk region.
Our Lee Eun-hee leads us this morning.

The U.S. government confirmed on Tuesday that a couple of thousand North Korean troops are moving toward Russia's Kursk region with a small unit already present there.

"We are concerned that they do intend to employ these forces in combat against the Ukrainians or at least support combat operations against the Ukrainians in the Kursk region."

This follows an earlier claim by the Lithuanian NGO Blue/Yellow, which has been assisting Ukrainian troops, that the first encounter between the Ukrainian troops and North Korean military forces occurred on October 25th in Russia's Kursk region, leading to the deaths of all but one North Korean.

U.S. President Joe Biden on Tuesday also expressed concerns about the presence of North Korean troops in Russia, stating that if they cross into Ukraine, Ukraine should respond with force.
On the same day, State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller criticized Russia and North Korea, stating that the deployment of North Korean troops marks "a significant escalation in the DPRK's ongoing involvement in Russia's illegal actions and another breach of UN Security Council Resolutions."
Meanwhile, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, agreed that the actions of Russia and North Korea signify a major escalation in the war against Ukraine, posing serious threats to European security and global peace, while emphasizing the importance of a close and strategic partnership between NATO and the EU.

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday, kicked off a military exercise of the country’s nuclear forces, simulating a retaliatory strike.
According to reports, in a video call with military leaders, he explained that the drills would practice the use of nuclear weapons, including launches of ballistic and cruise missiles.
Russia's Defense Minister reported that the drill was to practice its "strategic offensive forces launching a massive nuclear strike in response to a nuclear strike by the enemy."

Amid intensified global tensions, South Korea and the United States will hold the 56th Security Consultative Meeting at the Pentagon on Wednesday local time, focusing this year on the implications of North Korean troop deployments to Russia.
