Russia issues fake documents to hide North Korean troops on frontlines

The Special Operations Forces Telegram channel reported this.

SSO operators working in the Kursk region eliminated three more North Korean soldiers and seized their documents.

These are military IDs, lacking all necessary stamps and photos. The names and patronymics of their owners are listed in the Russian style, and the place of birth is noted as the Republic of Tuva. The soldiers' civilian professions are listed as "welder," "roofer," and so on.

Meanwhile, the signatures of the owners are written in Korean, indicating the true origin of these soldiers.

"According to decrypted data, the real names of the killed North Koreans are Ban Guk Jin, Lee De Hyuk, and Cho Chul Ho. However, according to Russian documents, they are Kim Kan Solat Albertavich, Dongnk Jan Suropovich, and Belek Aganak Kap-oolovich," the Special Operations Forces stated.

Ukrainian military officials emphasized that this case once again proves that Russia resorts to any methods to downplay its losses on the battlefield and conceal foreign presence.

• President of Ukraine Zelenskyy shared details on how Russia attempts to conceal information about North Korean soldiers killed while fighting against Ukraine.
• At least 100 North Korean soldiers fighting on the side of Russia have been killed and another 1,000 wounded in battles with Ukrainian forces in the Kursk region.
