So... what is the Italian response here? Seems like an attack on a NATO country... no?
Grok says they were industrial accidents, hence why there is no NATO reaction, but who knows.

"Official investigations treat both explosions as industrial accidents originating from fires in production areas, with no injuries reported and sabotage ruled out so far; KNDS produces 155mm artillery shells and maintains a Ukraine subsidiary, while Gebrev's plants have supplied munitions to Ukraine."

The first 10,000 were shredded
Wow, I wasn't aware of that so I looked it up. They were sacrificial lambs and now they're sending more?

"North Korean troops sent to Russia in late 2024 was deployed primarily to the Kursk border region to help push back Ukrainian forces. Rather than fighting inside Ukraine proper, they suffered catastrophic losses—exceeding 6,000 to 7,000 casualties—during intense frontline assaults under Russian command. https://kyivindependent.com/north-k...asualties-in-russias-kursk-oblast-hur-claims/

Yep. Sent them straight into the meat grinder. Nothing but cannon fodder. Those guys had never seen a drone in their lives. Well I guess it was the last thing they saw

edit: yeah he is sending more to please Putin (or $$). Neither one of those guys care about their men (as you know)
