About 8,000 North Korean soldiers are still fighting against Ukraine in Russia's Kursk Oblast, Ukraine's military intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov said in an interview with The War Zone magazine published on Feb.

The North Korean troops have withdrawn from the Kursk region due to significant losses. They are currently not participating in combat operations, Yonhap News reports, citing the South Korean intelligence.

The building was severely damaged, and Moscow suffered significant losses among Russian personnel, the General Staff said.

The Ukrainian Air Force carried out a high-precision strike on the command post of a Russian army unit near the village of Novoivanovka in Russia's Kursk Oblast on Monday, 3 February.
