"It is not possible to confirm the casualties and injuries of North Korean soldiers who participated in the battle._“Things to continue monitoring."

@Q&A with a Pentagon Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh and Janne Pak at the Pentagon Press Briefing on November 21, 2024.

The Ukrainian Air Force announced that Russia launched a new hypersonic intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) into its Dimtro region on the 21st (local time). U.S. experts said the missile tested by Russia was an intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM).

러시아가 21일(현지시간) 자국 디므트로 지역으로 극초음속 신형 중거리 탄도미사일(IRBM)을 발사했다고 우크라이나 공군이 밝혔다. 미 전문가들은 러시아가 시험한 미사일은 (IRBM, 중거리 탄도미사일이라고 밝혔다.

Following the permission to use U.S.'s long-range missiles, it is known that Ukraine fired Storm Shadow long-range missiles provided by the UK towards Russia, and Putin is becoming extremely sensitive, even mentioning the use of nuclear weapons.

미국산 장거리 미사일 사용 허락에 이어 우크라이나가 영국이 제공한 스톰섀도 장거리 미사일을 러시아를 향해 쏜 것으로 알려지면서 푸틴은 핵무기 사용까지 언급하면서 극도로 민감해 지고 있다.

On the 21st (local time), it was reported that a North Korean general was seriously injured in a bombing in Ukraine. The U.S. Department of Defense (Pentagon) said it had seen reports that the general had been injured, but could not confirm reports that North Korean troops had begun participating in the battle.

21(현지시간) 북한군 장군이 우크라이나 폭격에 중상을 입었다고 보도됐다. 미 국방부(펜타곤)는 장군이 부상당했다는 보도를 본적은 있지만 북한군이 전투에 참여하기 시작했다는 보고는 확인할수 없다고 밝혔다.

At a briefing on the 21st, Pentagon Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh responded to my question, “Do you have any information on the casualties and injuries of North Korean troops currently in combat?” and She responded, "I just can't confirm reports that they've, you know, started to engage in battle." "I've seen the public reporting out there that a general officer was wounded."

사브리나 싱 펜타곤 부대변인은 21일 브리핑에서 현재 참전중인 북한군의 사상자와 부상자에 대한 정보를 가지고 있느냐?”는 나의 질문에 그들이 전투에 참여하기 시작했다는 보고는 확인할 수 없다.”면서 나는 장군이 부상당했다는 대중의 보도를 본 적이 있다.”고 말했다.

Meanwhile, regarding Ukrainian President Zelensky and North Korea's goal of sending 100,000 North Korean troops, she said, "According to what we are tracking and what we have evaluated, there are probably more than 11,000 North Korean soldiers in the Kursk region." “It is something we will continue to monitor,” she said. “But our current assessment is that there are approximately 11,000 people in the Kursk region, or more than 11,000 people.” It can be done,”

한편, 젤렌스키 우크라이나 대통령과 북한이 100,000명의 북한군파병을 할 것이라는 목표설정을 언급한데 대해서는 우리가 추적하고 있는 것과 평가한 바에 따르면 쿠르스크 지역에는 아마도 11,000명이 넘는 북한 군인이 있을 것이다.”면서 “이는 우리가 계속 모니터링할 사항이다.”고 말하면서 “하지만 현재 우리 평가에 따르면 쿠르스크 지역에는 대략 11,000명, 즉 11,000명 이상이 될수 있을 것이다.”고 싱 부대변인은 말했다.

The North Korean army seems ready to fill the massive numbers, almost as if they are prepared to face death. There are concerns about how North Korea's Kim Jong-un and Putin's unstoppable war ambitions will change the balance of the world in the future.

*북한군은 이미 죽음에 대해 각오하는 것 같이 엄청난 숫자를 채울 준비가 되어 있는 것 같다. 북한 김정은과 푸틴의 멈출줄 모르는 전쟁 야망이 앞으로 세계의 균형을 어떻게 바꾸어 놓을지 우려된다.

(자세한 내용은 아래 사브리나 싱 펜타곤 부대변인과 제니 박 기자의 질의응답을 참고하십시오.)

QUESTION:(Janne Pak): Thank you very much, Sabrina. A few questions about the Russia, North Korea, and Ukraine. The first question, North Korea announced that it will send 100,000 more troops if the soldiers it dispatches die in the Ukraine war. And also, President Zelenskyy said that up to 100,000 North Korean troops would participate in the battle. How would you react to this?

감사합니다, 사브리나. 러시아, 북한, 우크라이나에 관한 몇 가지 질문입니다. 첫 번째 질문, 북한은 우크라이나 전쟁에서 파견한 군인이 사망할 경우 10만명의 병력을 추가로 파견하겠다고 밝혔다. 또한 젤렌스키 대통령은 최대 10만명의 북한군이 전투에 참가할 것이라고 밝혔다. 이에 대해 어떻게 반응하시겠습니까?

A:(DEPUTY PRESS SECRETARY SINGH): So, we're not tracking that 100,000 North Korean troops have been sent to Russia or to fight in this war. What we've — what we are tracking and our assessments are, is that, you know, there's probably over 11,000 DPRK soldiers that are in the Kursk region. And as I said on Tuesday, could there be more that get sent to the battlefield? Absolutely. It's something that we're going to continue to monitor. But right now, our assessment is that it's approximately 11,000 — or over 11,000, I should say, in the Kursk region.

따라서 우리는 10만 명의 북한군이 러시아로 파병되었거나 이번 전쟁에 참전했다는 사실을 추적하지 않습니다. 우리가 추적하고 있는 것과 평가한 바에 따르면 쿠르스크 지역에는 아마도 11,000명이 넘는 북한 군인이 있을 것입니다. 그리고 제가 화요일에 말했듯이, 전장에 더 많이 보내질 수 있을까요? 전적으로. 이는 우리가 계속 모니터링할 사항입니다. 하지만 현재 우리 평가에 따르면 쿠르스크 지역에는 대략 11,000명, 즉 11,000명 이상이라고 해야 할까요.

QUESTION:(Janne Pak): It is known that the North Korean military is participating in battles by joining the Russian Marine Corps and airborne troops. Also, the video shown in Ukraine reported that several North Korean soldiers were killed and injured. Does the U.S. have any information on the number of North Korean casualties and injuries in battles?

북한군은 러시아 해병대, 공수부대에 합류해 전투에 참여하는 것으로 알려졌다. 또 우크라이나에서 공개된 영상에는 북한군 여러 명이 사망하고 부상을 입었다고 보도됐다. 미국은 북한군이 전투 중 사상자나 부상자 수에 대한 정보를 갖고 있습니까?

A:(DEPUTY PRESS SECRETARY SINGH): Similarly to what Charlie asked, I just can't confirm reports that they've, you know, started to engage in battle. I've seen the public reporting out there that a general officer was wounded. But, again, I can't confirm it.

찰리가 질문한 것과 비슷하게, 그들이 전투에 참여하기 시작했다는 보고는 확인할 수 없습니다. 나는 장군이 부상당했다는 대중의 보도를 본 적이 있습니다. 하지만 다시 한번 확인해드릴 수는 없습니다.

Do we expect these soldiers to be brought into the fight? Yes, absolutely. They are in Kursk for a region — a reason. But I just can't confirm those reports that are circulating right now. We'll certainly keep you updated on that.

우리는 이 군인들이 전투에 참여하기를 기대합니까? , 물론이죠. 그들은 특정 지역 때문에 쿠르스크에 있습니다. 이유가 있습니다. 하지만 지금 떠도는 보도들은 확인할 수 없습니다. 이에 대해 계속해서 알려드리겠습니다.(끝)

It is fortunate that President Yoon Suk-yeol's martial law declaration was lifted without any armed conflict. Due to the opposition party's legislative monopoly, Korea had no choice but to impose martial law due to the loss of national security and state function. In fact, the leader of South Korea's opposition party is breaking the law and avoiding trial despite committing numerous crimes, and is being investigated for...

While North Korea is known to be supporting Russia with short-range ballistic missiles, it has been reported that it is expanding a key military factory that manufactures missiles in Hamheung, South Hamgyong Province. 북한이 러시아에 단거리 탄도미사일을 지원하는 것으로 알려진 가운데 함경남도 함흥에 미사일을 제작하는 핵심 군수공장을 확장하고 있다고 알려졌다. North Korea is also sending North Korean military personnel to a drone manufacturing factory in Russia and is manufacturing and supplying suicide drones to Russia. 북한은 또한 러시아에 있는 드론 제작공장에 북한군 인력을 보내고 있고 자폭드론을 만들어 러시아에 제공하고 있다. North Korea and Russia have signed a military cooperation treaty, and weapons and technical support are beginning in earnest. 북한과 러시아가 군사협력조약에 서로 싸인을 끝냈고 본격적으로 무기와 기술지원등이 시작되고 있다. In order to win the war in Ukraine, Russia wanted to send North Korean troops, and North Korea has ambitions to obtain advanced nuclear missile technology and economy from Russia. 우크라이나 전쟁에 승리하기 위해 러시아는 북한군 파병을 원했고 북한은 러시아로부터 핵 미사일에 대한 고급기술과 경제를 얻을...

(11월25일2024)   by: Janne Pak(White House & State Department & Pentagon & Congress Correspondent) Russia must take responsibility; "Russia is the actual culprit causing ‘security concerns’ in the United States, South Korea, and Japan." @Q&A with a State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller and Janne Pak at the State Department Press Briefing on November 25, 2024. As the war between Russia and Ukraine reaches its peak, Russia is making its last efforts by including North Korean troops to be sent into the war. 러시아와 우크라이나 전쟁이 최고조를 달리면서 러시아는 전쟁에 투입시킬 북한군까지 포함시켜 마지막 발악을 하고 있다. The U.S. State Department made it clear on the 25th (local time) that “Russia is raising ‘security concerns’ in the United States and South Korea.” and emphasized that “Russia alone is responsible for these very real security concerns.” 미 국무성은 25일(현지시간) “러시아가 미국과 한국 등의 ‘안보 우려’를 불러일으키고 있다는 점을 분명히 밝혔다. 그러면서 ”매우 현실적인 안보 우려에 대한 책임은 러시아에만 있다”고 강조했다.
