In a shocking turn of events, North Korea has reportedly joined Russia’s war against Ukraine, according to US defence secretary Lloyd Austin. The news comes as tensions in the region continue to escalate, with the US allowing Ukraine to use missiles to hold onto a small portion of Russian territory it currently occupies in Kursk.
The decision to allow Ukraine to use missiles was made after the Kremlin permitted North Korean troops to enter combat in the region. Reports suggest that up to 10,000 North Korean soldiers have already travelled to the Russian-held part of Kursk and are set to oversee combat operations.
This development has raised concerns about the increasing involvement of foreign powers in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The situation remains fluid and it is unclear how this new involvement will impact the ongoing war.
