The leader of North Korea, Kim Jong Un, attended a ceremony in Pyongyang to welcome home the Korean People’s Army’s 528th Regiment of Engineers. This unit had been deployed in Russia’s Kursk region, participating in engineering and combat tasks, including mine clearing operations.

The return of the regiment was marked by a ceremony where Kim Jong Un praised the soldiers for their achievements during their 120-day deployment, which began in early August. The regiment’s operations were described as transforming a dangerous area into a safer zone within a short period.

The North Korean leader announced that the regiment would receive the Order of Freedom and Independence, while the nine soldiers who lost their lives would be posthumously honored with the title Hero of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

According to the Russian Ministry of Defence, North Korean soldiers have been actively involved in mine-clearing operations in Kursk following their role in repelling Ukrainian forces. The deployment of approximately 14,000 North Korean troops was facilitated under a mutual defense agreement between North Korea and Russia, with casualty figures reported to be between 3,000 and 4,000 soldiers.
