WASHINGTON -- The U.S. estimates that North Korea has suffered over 1,000 casualties in the past week fighting Ukrainians in the Kursk region of Russia, a White House spokesperson said Friday.
North Korean forces are conducting "massed, dismounted assaults" against Ukrainian positions in Kursk, National Security Communications Adviser John Kirby said in the most detailed assessment offered so far. Dismounted assaults typically refer to a military operation where soldiers dismounts from their vehicles to attack an objective on foot.
