Seoul, Nov 22 (IANS): A senior North Korean general was wounded in a Ukrainian strike in Russia's western Kursk region, the Wall Street Journal has reported, citing Western officials.
The newspaper on Thursday (US time) said that it is the first time Western officials have said a high-ranking North Korean military officer has been wounded in the Russia-Ukraine conflict since Pyongyang sent more than 10,000 troops to Russia last month in support of its invasion, Yonhap news agency reported.
The officials did not say who the general is or how badly he was wounded.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said earlier this month that there were casualties among the North Korean troops engaged in combat in Kursk.
