North Korean Troops Kill Russians Over Miscommunication

On today’s show of Crossfire we tell you how scores of Russian soldiers died, not at the hands of Ukraine, but their own allies-the North Korean troops. A catastrophic error on the battlefield, triggered by a language barrier. This incident unfolded in the Kursk region where Moscow is trying to reclaim territory but it lays bare a troubling reality. These North Korean soldiers, described as ‘fearful and disoriented’, could not understand the commands coming from their Russian allies. Also on the show we tell how a new report suggests that the death toll statistics in Gaza has been weaponised to create an anti-Israel narrative. A study, conducted by the UK-based Henry Jackson Society, uncovers discrepancies in casualty data from the Israel-Hamas conflict.
