High-ranking North Korean generals may go to the Russian frontline with Ukraine as Pyongyang ramps up military cooperation with Moscow, a South Korean lawmaker said Tuesday, citing intelligence from Seoul’s spy agency.
“The National Intelligence Service is looking into the possibility that some high ranking military generals could move to frontline areas,” said lawmaker Lee Seong-kweun after a briefing from NIS, according to a transcript obtained by AFP.
North Korean troops have been deployed to Russia and are operating in the Kursk border region where Ukrainian troops have a foothold, NATO has said for the first time.
The alliance's Secretary General, Mark Rutte, said he could confirm the deployment after weeks of intelligence reports, following a meeting with South Korean security and defence officials on Monday.
