Details : The General Staff reported that these units, operating from Russia's Kursk Oblast, are conducting reconnaissance with unmanned aerial vehicles, identifying Ukrainian positions and helping adjust fire against them in Sumy Oblast.

Ukraine's defence forces have intercepted communications between North Korean drone operators and Russian personnel. The UAV operators were observed adjusting rocket artillery fire onto Ukrainian positions.

The Ukrainian General Staff says that Russia's leadership continues to involve North Korean units in active combat operations due to critical personnel losses and the failure of its offensive in Sumy Oblast.
