The information that emerged yesterday, November 22, regarding the alleged presence of North Korean troops in the Kharkiv region is not accurate.

This was stated by the Operational Tactical Group "Kharkiv," as reported by "Dumka."

It has been communicated that the claim about the presence of North Korean military personnel in the Kharkiv region is false. The individual who is the primary source of this information is not an official spokesperson for the OTG "Kharkiv" and commented on the operational situation outside of their competence,” the OTG noted.

They urged the media and the public to rely on information published through the official communication channels of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
