Russia and North Korea have strengthened their military ties by ratifying a comprehensive strategic partnership treaty. The pact, signed in June, commits both countries to providing military assistance using "all means" if either is attacked. This development comes amid reports of 3,000 North Korean troops being deployed to Russia for training. The US has expressed concerns over this move, warning that these forces will be "fair game" if they engage in combat in Ukraine.
