A high-ranking North Korean general was injured in a Ukrainian strike on Russia’s Kursk region, The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, citing unnamed Western officials.

The sources did not disclose the circumstances of the injury or the identity of the general. According to the WSJ, this marks the first known instance of a senior North Korean military figure being injured during the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, based on Western intelligence.

The Ukrainian military attacked Russia’s Kursk region on November 20, reportedly using at least 10 British-supplied long-range Storm Shadow missiles, according to Ukrainian and Western officials cited by the WSJ. It remains unclear whether the injury to the North Korean general was connected to this strike.
