South Korea says North Korea is continuing preparations for an additional troop deployment to Russia. The South Korean Defence Ministry, via information shared by a lawmaker’s office, says it has not detected signs that such a deployment is imminent.
The development is reported as part of ongoing monitoring by Seoul regarding North Korea’s potential military cooperation with Russia. Different outlets focus on what is known so far: South Korea’s assessment that preparations are underway, but that current intelligence does not indicate an immediate move.
Overall, the reporting relies on Seoul’s tracking and the Defence Ministry’s findings, without providing specific details on the number of troops, timing, or the locations involved. The claim is framed as preparation rather than an active deployment, reflecting the limited publicly available information at this stage.
