Points of attention
- The first units of trained North Korean soldiers have already arrived in the combat zone, supporting the Russian army in the conflict.

- The interception of the DIU sheds light on the covert movements of military personnel and the complex dynamics of the war in Eastern Europe.
What is known about the movement of North Korean soldiers
According to Ukrainian intelligence, on October 27, 2024, on the Kursk-Voronezh highway, the police stopped a KamAZ with civilian license plates loaded by North Korean military personnel.
In addition, it is emphasized that the driver of the truck, who was traveling in the trailer of reinforcements from the DPRK, did not have a combat order.
From the new radio interception of the DIU, it becomes known that the staff members of the 810th separate brigade of marines of the Russian occupation army, to which the North Korean assistance from KamAZ was intended, are trying to find out whether they have a stopped truck on the balance sheet and why the driver does not have the proper papers.
For every war crime committed against Ukraine, there will be a just retribution, Ukrainian intelligence officers reminded the enemies.
