Approx. 6k Specialists from DPRK Heading to Kursk Oblast for Aid
North Korean miners applauded for their contribution to the demining process along the border, as commended by Hinstein.
Buckle up, folks! Alexander Hinstein, the acting governor of Kursk Oblast, spilled the beans on his Telegram channel about a potential influx of foreign assistance. As many as 1,000 sappers and 5,000 military construction workers from North Korea might descend upon the region, ready to lend a hand in demining and border territory restoration. He described this assistance as "significant."
You might be wondering why we need the help of our buddies from across the globe. Well, according to Hinstein, such a collaboration was discussed during a meeting between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu.
If you remember, Vladimir Putin gave the order to quickly clear our border areas of explosive devices. The arrival of these North Korean specialists could help speed things up and bring much-needed expertise to the table.
Oh, and there's this little reminder: Rosgvardia managed to neutralize a Ukrainian strike drone in Kursk Oblast. So, security is definitely on everyone's minds.
Note: DPRK stands for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

Approximately 1,000 deminers and 5,000 military construction personnel, including divisions of builders and two military brigades, are expected to participate. The mission's goal is to clear mines and rebuild infrastructure damaged during conflicts[1][2][3].
These specialists will likely work on tasks such as removing explosive remnants of war and repairing damaged facilities to help restore the region's safety and normalcy[1][2][3].
