Ukraine's east with this Ukrainian strike hindering the russian army's efforts Russian-language social media has published what could be the first visual evidence of North Korea sending troops for Moscow’s war effort against Ukraine.  initially circulated by pro-Kremlin military bloggers on Telegram and picked up by the investigative outlet Agentstvo show what appear to be phalanxes of what it describes as North Korean troops at a military base.  “There’s millions of them,” a voice can be heard saying in one of the videos in Russian POLITICO has not been able to independently verify the veracity of the videos or their content The videos appeared online as NATO chief Mark Rutte told journalists on Friday that he could not “confirm reports that North Koreans are actively now as soldiers engaged in the war effort.” Citing OSINT experts Agentstvo reports the video was likely recorded near the village of Sergeyevka in Primorye in Russia's far east some 200 kilometers from North Korea.  Rumors about Pyongyang’s involvement have been swirling ever since South Korea issued a public warning that Pyongyang was planning to step up its involvement in the Kremlin’s war machine from providing artillery to sending up to 12,000 troops.  This week, officials in Kyiv repeated those warnings.  South Korea’s National Intelligence Service said 1,500 special forces troops had already been deployed to Russia Commenting on the news of North Korea joining its war last week, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov dismissed the reports as “just more fake news.” we have to stay on the front — until the end,” one recruit said Russia’s invasion has drawn in dozens of countries Will Kaja Kallas be able to make her voice heard It’s the latest tit-for-tat move amid mounting tensions over Ukraine Strikes by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on rear logistics facilities within Russian territory are expected to exert a far broader operational pressure on Russian military forces extending beyond merely the destruction of munitions and logistical sites reports the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) The report highlights that during the summer of 2022 Ukrainian forces launched a series of strikes using HIMARS rocket systems on Russian munitions depots in temporarily occupied areas of Ukraine This forced the Russian army to disperse its munitions storage reducing the effectiveness of the enemy's logistics at that time ISW does not rule out that similar strikes by Ukrainian Defense Forces on munitions depots within Russian territory could compel Russian military command to implement similar measures for reorganizing and dispersing support and logistics systems to mitigate the impact of such attacks “Russian forces may not have addressed vulnerabilities at many logistics facilities within Russia due to the sanctuary space that restrictions on Ukraine's use of Western-provided weapons have generated although the Toropets facility is not within range of Western systems fired from Ukraine,” the report states The Institute is convinced that further strikes by the Ukrainian army on Russian munitions and missile depots could destroy a significant portion of Russian material reserves “Ukrainian strikes against facilities within Russia could impact offensive operations throughout the theater in Ukraine if Ukrainian forces have the materiel and permission to conduct such a strike campaign against logistics and support facilities within Russia at scale,” ISW analysts conclude Ukrainian special forces and military units have intensified regular drone and missile attacks on munitions depots and other targets both in occupied areas of Ukraine and within Russian territory On the night of September 18, Ukrainian forces struck an ammunition arsenal in the city of Toropets, Tver Region, Russia The depot housed Iskander and Tochka-U ballistic missiles as well as North Korean-made KN-23 rockets This is expected to temporarily disrupt the enemy's combat capabilities Additionally, in July 2024, Ukrainian forces targeted an ammunition depot near the village of Sergeyevka in the Voronezh region. Another munitions depot was destroyed in the Podgorensky district of the Voronezh region. Moreover, on the night of September 17, Ukrainian forces destroyed a large munitions depot belonging to Russian forces near the occupied city of Mariupol The strike was carried out with Ukrainian Neptune missiles +374 10 650015
