Ukraine says it has destroyed three North Korean Koksan self-propelled guns in Russia’s Kursk region, releasing the first evidence that not only DPRK infantry but also artillery supported Russia’s successful counteroffensive in the border region.
Ukraine’s 14th Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Regiment released a video on Tuesday purportedly showing a HIMARS system striking three closely positioned 170mm Koksan units with “high-explosive fragmentation and cluster warheads” in the Kursk region.
