North Korean troops' limited combat experience and unfamiliarity with the terrain of the Russian-Ukrainian battlefields have contributed to heavy losses.

The new premier of North Korea has been sworn in during a two-day parliamentary meeting in Pyongyang. State media on Friday broadcast footage of Pak Thae Song addressing parliament during the key session.

Budanov said North Korea has sent 120 self-propelled howitzers and 120 MLRS to Russia, and is likely to send the same number again.

North Korea is preparing to send additional troops to Russia, despite their role as “human bait” on the battlefield, a report has warned.

South Korea's military said on Friday that it suspects North Korea is preparing to send more troops to Russia to fight Ukrainian forces, even after suffering losses and seeing some of its soldiers captured.

A South Korean lawmaker said Seoul's intelligence showed some 3,000 North Korean troops have been wounded or killed in Kursk.

North Korean soldiers captured by Ukraine provide a rare window into covert military collaboration.

North Korea has test-fired sea-to-surface strategic guided cruise missiles, KCNA reported Sunday, adding that the weapons "precisely" hit their targets.

Pyonyang said the tests were carried out "as part of an overall plan to implement efforts to build the country's defence capabilities".

Pyongyang's monthly troop losses could skyrocket if it deploys more troops to the frontlines in Kursk and continues sustaining high losses.
