**Breaking News: Ukrainian HIMARS Strike Dismantles North Korean Troop Base in Russia**

In a stunning display of precision warfare, Ukrainian forces executed a preemptive strike against a North Korean artillery unit stationed in Russia’s Kursk region early on March 19, 2025. At precisely 4:26 a.m., three M30A1 rockets launched from a HIMARS platform obliterated a foreign troop base, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict and shattering Russia’s military plans.

Just days prior, a train carrying over 3,000 North Korean artillery troops had arrived in Russia, the largest foreign troop deployment on Russian soil since World War II. This deployment was part of a desperate military assistance pact between Moscow and Pyongyang, aimed at bolstering Russian forces struggling on the eastern front of Ukraine. Armed with the formidable Coxenm 1978 artillery system, these troops were poised to strike Ukrainian supply hubs in Sunumi and Pava.

However, Ukrainian surveillance teams had been tracking the troop movements closely, identifying a lack of radar coverage and air defense around the artillery units. Utilizing advanced reconnaissance drones, they confirmed the exact positions of the North Korean guns and their resupply trucks—exposed and vulnerable.

In a matter of minutes, the HIMARS unit was activated, launching three rockets designed to deliver devastating precision. The first rocket struck a resupply truck, igniting a fireball that engulfed the area and 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁ed nearly all personnel. The subsequent strikes rendered the North Korean artillery inoperable, with no survivors left to retaliate. In under 90 seconds, the entire battery was annihilated, crippling Russia’s plans to utilize North Korean forces as a stopgap measure.

This strike not only destroyed equipment worth millions but also sent shockwaves through Russian command, halting further deployments of North Korean troops. The message was clear: Ukraine’s capabilities have evolved, and no target—regardless of its location—can be considered safe. As the dust settles over Kursk, the question looms: will the remaining North Korean forces become the next casualties in this relentless conflict? The war has shifted, and with it, the stakes have never been higher.
