On Monday, the US Department of Defense confirmed that North Korea sent about 10 thousand soldiers for training in Russia.
A representative of the Pentagon reported that this step raises serious concerns for American military officials, as training abroad could enhance the combat capabilities of North Korean armed forces. This development of events may also lead to additional steps from the US and its allies in the region.
"We are closely monitoring these exercises and analyzing their impact on the situation," said the Pentagon representative.
However, American officials do not specify the specific details related to the locations of training, training programs, and the duration of stays for North Korean military personnel in Russia.
