North Korean Troops Allegedly in Russia: US Defense Secretary Raises Concerns
According to US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, North Korean service members have been spotted in Russia, raising concerns about their intentions in the country. While Pyongyang has denied the accusation, the Kremlin has called the reports “contradictory.”
Speaking to reporters in Rome, Austin mentioned that there is evidence of DPRK troops in Russia, but their specific activities are still unknown. The US is currently gathering more information on this alleged deployment.
If North Korea is indeed involved in the conflict on Russia’s side, it would pose a significant issue. Austin did not disclose the number of troops or their exact location in Russia.
This situation adds a new layer of complexity to the ongoing conflict, with tensions rising over the involvement of foreign troops. More updates on this development are expected as the situation unfolds.
