"Kim hailed the regiment's conduct during its 120-day overseas deployment, which commenced in early August and involved combat and engineering duties, including mine clearing in the Kursk region of Russia, where Ukrainian forces had infiltrated and occupied for months before withdrawing. You could work a miracle of turning a vast area of danger zone into a safe and secure one in a matter of less than three months, the task which was believed to be impossible to be carried out even in several years, Kim said, according to South Korea's Yonhap news agency."
"The armed villains of the West, armed with whatever latest military hardware they are, cannot match this revolutionary army with an unfathomable spiritual depth, Kim added at the ceremony on Friday."
"The North's leader also spoke of the heartrending loss of nine members of the regiment and announced that the unit would be conferred with the Order of Freedom and Independence. The deceased troops would also be honoured with the title Hero of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, KCNA said, referring to North Korea's official name."
Kim Jong Un welcomed home the Korean People's Army's 528th Regiment of Engineers after a 120-day overseas deployment in Russia's Kursk region. The regiment performed combat and engineering duties, including mine clearing, in areas previously infiltrated and occupied by Ukrainian forces. Kim embraced injured soldiers in wheelchairs and praised the unit for transforming a dangerous zone into a secure area in under three months. He lamented nine deaths in the regiment and announced the unit would receive the Order of Freedom and Independence, while the deceased would be posthumously titled Heroes of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
