Russia has begun using North Korean troops in “significant numbers” to attack Ukrainian forces in Kursk region, president Volodymyr Zelensky said.
“Today, we already have preliminary data that the Russians have begun to use North Korean soldiers in their assaults” he said. “We have information suggesting their use could extend to other parts of the frontline.”
This comes as Russia’s air defence systems destroyed 15 Ukrainian drones overnight, Russian defence ministry said today.
Thirteen of the drones were downed over the Black Sea and one each over the Russian border regions of Kursk and Belgorod, the defence ministry said in a post on its Telegram messaging channel.
Earlier, a major Russian oil depot was set ablaze after Ukrainian troops launched a “massive drone attack” over 100 miles inside Russian territory.
The Stalnoy Kon oil refinery, part of Vladimir Putin’s “military industrial complex” that supplies Russian troops, was struck overnight, Kyiv’s chief of staff said.
The Russian governor of Oryol said on Telegram that fuel had caught fire at “a facility” in the region after the “massive drone attack”.
