- The United States has confirmed that around 8,000 North Korean troops are positioned near Ukraine's border in Russia's Kursk region, with expectations of imminent combat deployment.
- This development follows North Korea's test-firing of a powerful intercontinental ballistic missile, which experts suggest may have received Russian technological support.
