Soldiers of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to neutralize North Korean mercenaries fighting on the side of the Russian army in Kursk region. A notebook with a "special" message was found on one of the liquidated mercenaries.

One of the decrypted notes was published on the Telegram channel of the SOF. Its author, a DPRK soldier, Gyong Hong Jong, wrote a birthday greeting for another soldier, Song Ji Myong (or Yong).

The occupier planned to congratulate his friend, but instead of a birthday party, he received an assault rifle and a trench on foreign soil. And instead of candles on the cake, he got a Ukrainian 5.56 caliber.

"I, having left my homeland and being in Russia, wish my best friend and army brother Song Ji-myong (Yong) a happy birthday and good health, December 9, 2024," reads the first decrypted entry from the North Korean soldier's trophy notebook.

"And while the SOF operators continue to destroy the enemies in Kursk region, the translation of other records of Private Jong continues. To be continued," the defenders added.

Earlier it was reported that North Korea (DPRK) is preparing to increase its military presence in Russia. This situation can significantly affect the situation on the battlefield in Ukraine, although it will not change the global picture. It is noted that the DPRK can deploy significant forces in Russia, which can reach up to 100 thousand soldiers.

As reported by OBOZ.UA, North Korea has significantly increased the supply of ammunition to Russia and simultaneously expanded weapons production in its country in exchange for financial assistance and oil. Weapons are transported by sea and rail to replenish the Russian army's stocks.
