**Ukraine Hits North Korean Military in Russia**
On November 20, Ukraine used British-supplied Storm Shadow missiles to attack a North Korean military contingent in the Russian city of Mar’ino. This happened just before the UK and US allowed Ukrainian strikes inside Russian territory.
The reason for these strikes was because Russia had sent North Korean troops to the conflict zone. Storm Shadow missiles are precise weapons with a range over 250 kilometers. They use advanced technology like GPS and terrain-reference systems to hit their targets.
**Targeted Attacks on North Korean Military**
A Ukrainian official said that this strike was one of several attacks against North Korean military personnel in the Kursk Oblast over the past week. These attacks were targeted, aiming at specific military positions and personnel.
The identity of the injured North Korean general is not known. However, Ukraine believes that he is General-Colonel Kim Chen Bok, who had been sent to Russia to oversee special Assault Corps units.
**Higher Casualties Reported**
Another report claimed that there could be many more casualties from this strike, with some saying that up to 500 North Korean soldiers and a Russian general might have died. However, this information has not been verified.
The attack also targeted a sanatorium associated with Russia’s leadership, according to another source.
