Ukrainian drone strikes at soldiers in the fields covered in white snow.
I avoid myself quickly, but I'm not good enough.
The Ukranian military, which posted the video on social media, claimed that the North Korean military recently killed 50 people in Kursk, Russia, and injured at least 47.
While North Korean soldiers' deaths have been reported one after another through foreign media, our National Intelligence Service has also confirmed this.
[Lee Sung-kwon / Secretariat of the People's Power Intelligence Committee: At least 100 people have been killed and the number of injured is expected to be close to 1,000, the NIS reported.]
The death was estimated to include a general-level officer, but the reason for the death of 200 foreign media was as conservative as possible, indicating the possibility of more deaths.
At the same time, the North Korean military said it began to participate in the war in earnest this month.
The background of the large number of casualties despite the small number of battles was analyzed because of unfamiliar environments and lack of ability to respond to drone attacks.
[Lee Sung-kwon/Secretary of the People's Power Information Committee: Even within the Russian military, there are complaints that the North Korean military is ignorant of drones and becomes a burden.]
As the North Korean military's full-fledged participation in the war began, news of the deaths was reported, but North Korea has remained silent.
In the meantime, the NIS added that it is closely monitoring the possibility of additional North Korean troops sending troops, such as Kim Jong-un's preparation to observe the training.
