North Korean soldiers deployed to Russia are reportedly using their first-ever access to unrestricted internet primarily to view pornography. Financial Times journalist Gideon Rachman posted on X that a usually reliable source claims the North Korean troops are allegedly gorging on pornography. A spokesperson from the US Defense Department said that the Pentagon's focus remains on serious concerns about North Korea's potential involvement in Russia’s military activities. South Korean intelligence previously reported that Kim Jong Un planned to send troops, including special units, to Russia.
