Summary

Ukraine’s military intelligence (GUR) reports that North Korean troops supporting Russia in the Kursk region are facing heavy casualties, logistical issues, and water shortages due to Ukrainian strikes.

Ukraine estimates 3,000 North Korean soldiers have been killed or wounded out of the 10,000-12,000 deployed by Pyongyang.

Meanwhile, Russia continues its drone and missile strikes on Ukraine, with recent attacks targeting power infrastructure and civilian areas.

President Putin threatened further use of the Oreshnik hypersonic missile, while Ukraine retaliates with strategic strikes on Russian military infrastructure.

Do anyone else wonder why Kim was open to being embarrassed this way? Hardly helps his fiction of North Korea being amazing.

Because nobody back home will ever find out what happened to the dead soldiers.

SK could coordinate with Ukraine collate videos of dead NK people, or NK people being killed without mercy through drones. Then blast it through the DMZ border. Or drop pamphlets of pictures of dead NK soldiers through planes.

They already do. There's an ongoing effort to smuggle outside news and media into North Korea. But you can't just "blast it through the DMZ". You have to get the stuff into formats they can play with appropriate subbing or dubbing where needed, and then sneak it across in USB thumb drives that are then quietly distributed by rebels in the north. It's a difficult and dangerous process.
