**Ukrainians Use Snowy Terrain to Defeat North Korean Forces**
In the Kursk direction of Russia, Ukrainian forces have come up with a clever plan to defeat the North Korean army. The Ukrainians used heat signatures in snowy terrain to expose and attack North Korean formations, disrupting their plans to mass forces for a breakthrough towards strategic Malaya Loknya.
**Turning Tables on the Battlefield**
Ukrainian special forces operators were sent to clear the area of any survivors and take prisoners after cluster bombs and artillery were dropped on the North Koreans. However, as North Koreans refused to surrender, it led to brutal confrontations. The Ukrainians’ goal is to defend Kruglenkoe, a settlement that is crucial in preventing North Korean forces from advancing further towards Malaya Loknya.
**Using Forests to Launch Counterattacks**
Kruglenkoe’s main value lies not in its size (less than 50 people lived there before the war), but in the forests surrounding it and the basements of houses, which serve as a launching pad for infiltration assaults. Since North Koreans had already established a foothold in the forests, Ukrainians had to devise a plan to counter their advantage in numbers.
**Forcing North Koreans into Disadvantageous Positions**
Ukrainian forces conducted a tactical withdrawal from the narrow forests leading to Kruglenkoe, forcing North Koreans to concentrate their forces along a narrow corridor. This made it easier for Ukrainians to attack and eliminate them with HIMARS cluster bombs. Newly released footage shows North Korean soldiers trying to deploy fresh troops through the forest, but they were quickly targeted by Ukrainian artillery.
**Decimating North Korean Forces**
Ukrainian special forces operators conducted raids on North Korean positions and cleared the area, preventing them from building up a sizeable assault force. Reports from Ukrainian soldiers reveal that North Koreans often refuse to surrender, even when faced with no other option. One soldier recounts an incident where they had to shoot a North Korean who was faking a surrender.
**Ukrainians Turn Tables on North Korean Numbers Advantage**
Overall, Ukrainians have successfully turned the tables on North Korean forces by putting them in tactically disadvantageous positions and destroying their accumulations of forces. This has broken the forward momentum of North Korean attacks and allowed for successful counterattacks.
