South Korea’s military intelligence agency said Wednesday that an advanced unit of North Korean soldiers may have been sent to the front lines in support of Russia’s war effort against Ukraine, according to Yonyap news agency.

The Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) shared the information with lawmakers during a routine parliamentary audit, Rep. Lee Seong-kweun of the ruling People’s Power Party and Rep. Park Sun-won of the main opposition Democratic Party said Yonyap.

Asked about foreign reports suggesting that North Korean troops have been deployed to the front lines of the war, the agency said that while there is no precise information, “There is a possibility that some forward units have been sent to the front lines.”

This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available
