North Korea Admits Sending Troops to Russia

North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Un, said that North Korean soldiers went to Russia to clear mines.

They worked for about four months and nine soldiers died.

Kim praised the soldiers for their hard work and bravery.

North Korea has been helping Russia in its war with Ukraine, and in return, Russia is giving North Korea money, food, and other supplies.

This is a rare time that North Korea has admitted sending soldiers to help Russia.
