Russia says retook Kursk from Ukraine with North Korean help
The Russian army has fully liberated the border Kursk region from Ukrainian control with the help of North Korean soldiers, claims Chief of Staff Valery Gerasimov, admitting their participation in the conflict for the first time.
Shortly after, the Ukrainian army denied Russia's claim to have driven Kyiv's forces out of Kursk but acknowledged the situation on the battlefield was "difficult".
