Some soldiers breathlessly duck into the snow-covered field of empty fields.

A camera taken from a first-person perspective and a drone with a Santa doll are quickly directed between them.

Filmed from different angles,
There is black smoke with explosions through the soldiers on the field
We also see him dragging a fallen soldier into the forest.

On the 17th local time, the video was released by the Ukrainian Special Operations Forces on social media for just over a minute.

There are as many as 17 attack scenes in the video.

The Ukranian army, which posted the video, claimed to have attacked the North Korean military in Kursk for three days.

In total, 50 people were killed, at least 47 were injured, and they also blew up military vehicles, including two armored vehicles, it said.

Earlier in the day, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy revealed his face, saying he filmed the North Korean military with a drone.

In the video, you can see an Asian-faced soldier hiding behind a tree, and he even looks down as if he is resigned to finding the drone.

In another video, as an Asian man in a military uniform films his face, someone shouts for him to quickly put on his mask with a clumsy English accent.

"Tell me to wear a mask, hurry up"
President
Zelenskyy argued that Russia is banning face exposure to hide its mobilization of North Korean troops.

At the same time, he lashed out at Russia for trying to cover up their deaths.

It has already been two months since the North Korean military was reportedly mobilized for the Russia-Ukraine war.

Considering other battles, it is believed that there are already more than 200 casualties, but North Korea remains silent without affirmation or denial.
