BRUSSELS, Oct 28 (Reuters) - NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said on Monday he could confirm that North Korean troops have been sent to Russia and that North Korean military units have been deployed to the Kursk region.
"The deepening military cooperation between Russia and North Korea is a threat to both Indo-Pacific and Euro-Atlantic security," Rutte told reporters after NATO officials and diplomats received a briefing from a South Korean delegation.
