South Korea calls for pullout of North troops 'in Russia'

As tensions mount over the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the United States has issued a stark warning regarding the potential involvement of North Korean troops in the war. According to John Kirby, spokesperson for the National Security Council, around 3,000 North Korean soldiers have reportedly travelled to Russia for training. Kirby emphasised that if these troops engage in combat against Ukraine, they would be considered "legitimate military targets" by U.S. forces. The Pentagon has expressed concern over the implications of North Korea's involvement, with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin noting that the presence of North Korean servicemen in Russia raises significant security issues. This development comes amid growing speculation about military cooperation between Moscow and Pyongyang, raising fears of an escalation in the conflict. #NorthKorea #Russia #USMilitary #UkraineConflict #MilitaryTargets #JohnKirby #NorthKoreanTroops #Geopolitics #DefenseNews #WarWarnings #NationalSecurity #KoreanPeninsula #Pentagon #GlobalSecurity #MilitaryCooperation ~HT.178~PR.152~ED.101~GR.122~
