"North Korean troops appear in Mariupol and Kharkiv"...Will the front line be expanded?

[Anchor]
With North Korean troops deployed to Russia deployed to Kursk, reports have emerged across the border in Mariupol and Kharkiv.

Attention is focusing on whether the scope of the North Korean military's input will be expanded in line with Russia's massive offensive.

I'm a YouTube reporter on the report.

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

They wore Russian military uniforms, but it is said that they live separately from the Russian military, such as using separate accommodations.

Mariupol is a military hub where Russia has fallen again after three months of intense fighting.

CNN said the North Korean military's purpose of the visit was still unclear.

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

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

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

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 case of North Korean troops deployed to Kursk, full-fledged participation in the battle is imminent.

Tensions are rising over whether North Korea will send additional troops on a large scale as Russia has launched a new nuclear-capable missile against NATO's permission to strike long-range missiles.
