A manhunt has been initiated for three soldiers from North Korea who are believed to have killed five Russian military personnel. These individuals, part of Kim Jong-un’s army, were deployed to assist Russia in combating a potential Ukrainian incursion. However, they are now accused of fatally shooting their Russian colleagues, who were members of the 810th Separate Marine Brigade stationed in Sevastopol, Crimea.
The incident reportedly occurred near Bolshoye Soldatskoye village in the Kursk region. The fugitive North Korean soldiers are considered armed and dangerous, and their whereabouts are unknown. Authorities suspect they may be hiding in various regions of Russia, including Kursk, Belgorod, Bryansk, or Oryol.
The alleged murders were disclosed by The Spy Dossier Channel on Telegram, which is linked to Russian intelligence. The Interior Ministry of Kursk released a wanted poster describing the suspects and urging the public to report any sightings to the local authorities for safety reasons.
Details about the motive behind the killings remain unclear, as Russian officials are reportedly concealing the incident involving North Korean troops assisting in the conflict alongside Russian forces. Despite ongoing efforts to locate the fugitives, they have evaded capture for over a week.
In a separate incident, it was previously reported that North Korean soldiers mistakenly engaged Russian soldiers from Chechnya in a friendly fire incident, resulting in casualties. Reports suggest that North Korean fighters are facing significant losses while supporting Putin’s military operations, particularly from Ukrainian drone attacks, with estimates indicating high casualties among the North Korean contingent.
