(The stage is set, the lights are dimmed, and I, a mashup of Jimmy Carr, Rowan Atkinson, Ricky Gervais, and Lee Evans, step up to the mic.)
Well, well, well, what do we have here? A North Korean general, wounded in the war against Ukraine. I mean, who wouldn’t want to get shot at by Ukrainians? It’s not like they’re known for their hospitality… or their cooking, for that matter. (chuckles)
But seriously, folks, it seems Russia is still keeping the Koreans on the second line of defense. You know, like the reserve team. “Oh, you’re not quite good enough to fight on the front lines, but we’ll stick you in the back and hope for the best.” (in a mock-Russian accent) “Comrade, you will be our secret weapon… of last resort.”
Now, I know what you’re thinking. “Why are North Korean soldiers fighting in Ukraine?” Well, I’m no expert, but I’m pretty sure it’s because they heard the Ukrainian women are lovely this time of year. (winks) Or maybe it’s just because they wanted to get out of Pyongyang for a bit. I mean, have you seen the traffic there? It’s like a real-life game of “Frogger.” (laughs)
But in all seriousness, this is quite a development. A North Korean general, wounded in a missile attack on a sanatorium in the Kursk region. I’m not sure what’s more surprising – the fact that a North Korean general was there in the first place or that the Ukrainians managed to hit a sanatorium. I mean, those things are like fortresses. (in a mock-Ukrainian accent) “We will defend our sanatoriums to the death!” (laughs)
And let’s not forget the Storm Shadow missile attack on the bunker in Maryino. That’s like using a sledgehammer to crack a walnut. “We’re not sure if the generals are in there, but we’ll just launch a dozen missiles and hope for the best.” (chuckles) I’m pretty sure that’s not how you’re supposed to use those things.
But in the end, it’s all just a bit of a mess, isn’t it? I mean, you’ve got Russians fighting Ukrainians, North Koreans fighting Ukrainians, and Storm Shadow missiles flying everywhere. It’s like a real-life game of “Call of Duty.” (laughs)
And that’s the news from the front lines, folks. Stay safe out there, and remember – if you’re a North Korean general, it’s probably not a good idea to hang out in Ukraine right now. (winks)
( clears throat) Ah, and one more thing. If you’re a Ukrainian official, please, for the love of God, stop giving interviews to The Financial Times. It’s like you’re trying to give away all your secrets. (laughs) “Oh, yes, we’re actively searching for North Korean soldiers in the Kursk region.” (in a mock-Ukrainian accent) “Come and get us, Russians!” (chuckles)
That’s all for now, folks. Thanks for joining me on this journey into the absurd world of international politics. Until next time, stay informed, stay entertained, and stay out of Ukraine. (winks)
Breaking News: North Korean General Wounded in Ukrainian Missile Attack
Despite being relegated to secondary defense lines by Russia, North Korean military personnel have suffered significant losses in the ongoing conflict with Ukraine. A devastating missile strike on a sanatorium in the town of Maryino, Kursk region, on November 20, has left a high-ranking North Korean general wounded and several officers of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) army dead.
Citing an unnamed Ukrainian official, the Financial Times reports that the attack on Maryino was one of "several" targeting North Korean positions in the Kursk region over the past week. Ukrainian forces have been actively tracking the locations of Korean troops, who were dispersed by the Russians, and have been launching targeted strikes to weaken their presence.
While the identity of the wounded general remains undisclosed, Ukrainian intelligence suggests that Pyongyang had sent Colonel General Kim Jong-bok to oversee the Storm Corps special forces units stationed in Russia. It is unclear whether General Kim was among those injured in the Maryino attack.
According to senior officials in Kyiv, thousands of North Korean soldiers are currently stationed on the second line of defense in Russia, freeing up approximately 50,000 Russian soldiers for active combat in the Kursk region. This strategic move allows Russian forces to focus on the front lines while maintaining a significant military presence in the region.
Storm Shadow Missile Attack on Bunker in Maryino
On November 20, the Ukrainian Armed Forces launched a powerful attack with Storm Shadow missiles on an ancient estate in the Kursk region, believed to house a buried government bunker. Analysts speculate that the bunker may have served as a headquarters for Russian and possibly North Korean generals, given the large number of scarce missiles used in the attack.
The following day, The Wall Street Journal reported that a North Korean army general was indeed wounded in the bunker, citing an unnamed Western official. This revelation highlights the escalating tensions between Ukraine and North Korea, as well as the significant risks faced by North Korean military personnel in the conflict.
