Gyeong Hong Jong, a North Korean special forces operative who was killed by Ukraine's Special Operations Forces (SOF) operatives in Kursk Oblast, has left behind a diary that is now being gradually translated.

The Ukrainian Special Operations Forces have released another excerpt from the diary of a deceased North Korean soldier. "I betrayed my beloved Party, which had placed its trust in me," he writes. The Ukrainian Special Operations Forces (SOF) released the diary of a North Korean soldier who died in the Kursk region.

Russia is deploying “human waves” of North Korean soldiers, the U.S. said, and one soldier captured by Ukraine died of his injuries. Others died by suicide.

Ukrainian troops have captured a North Korean soldier and Russian materials in Kursk as the battle between the warring countries intensifies.
