Ukraine has released an audio clip of what it says are intercepted radio communications between North Korean soldiers in Russia, as media reported that Russia had gathered 50,000 soldiers in its Kursk region, including North Korean troops, to attack Ukrainian positions there.
In the audio, uploaded by the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, or DIU, on YouTube on Sunday, soldiers can be heard exchanging coded terms in North Korean-accented Korean.
“Mulgae hana, Mulgae dul,” was one exchange, which translates as “Seal one, Seal two”.
In another recording, a soldier says, “wait,” apparently giving an instruction to a subordinate.
The DIU said it intercepted the radio communications on Saturday, adding that the signals were about “ordering them to return immediately.”
Ukraine and the United States estimate that North Korea has sent 11,000 troops to help Russia in its war against Ukraine, with these forces reportedly stationed in the Russian border region of Kursk, which Ukrainian forces aided in early August. Moscow has faced challenges in reclaiming territory from Ukrainian forces.
