South Korea's intelligence agency estimates that approximately 300 North Korean soldiers have been killed and another 2,700 injured while fighting alongside Russian forces against Ukraine. This marks North Korea's first participation in a large-scale conflict since the 1950-53 Korean War.

Months after Kyiv and Seoul began sounding the alarm over North Korea's growing role in the Ukraine war, Kyiv now says Pyongyang's troops are being killed and captured in battles with Ukrainian forces.
