Russian commanders got caught discussing secret transport of North Korean soldiers using civilian Kamaz trucks in Kursk region. The radio chat between checkpoint staff revealed truck number 497 was moving troops without combat identification (which shows how Russia tries to hide its new allies)
Do you have Kamaz truck 497 on your list? Thatʼs why he has no official combat number
Mark Rutte‚ NATOʼs chief pointed to this development as a big change in North Koreas support for Russian military actions. Intelligence reports say about 12‚000 NK soldiers got training at a far-east camp; their deployment waits for official approval of military-aid deal between Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un
The situation in Kursk shows mixed results:
- Russian forces took back half of Ukraine-held areas since early-oct
- Both sides claim territorial gains
- Fighting stays intense near main positions
Near Donetsk Russian troops crossed a canal in Chasiv Yar town — first time since summer; but they cant hold northern parts well. Meanwhile Ukrainian drones hit two alcohol-making plants in Voronezh area; a local market caught fire too but its not linked to these attacks (as local sources say)
