A Ukrainian brigade says it hasn't seen North Koreans for a while in its part of the front in Kursk.
North Korea has abruptly reduced its presence in the war after weeks of intense fighting.
But it's unclear what Pyongyang is planning after conflicting reports of withdrawal emerged.
A Ukrainian brigade in the Kursk region has said it's no longer been encountering North Korean troops, as questions remain over Pyongyang's plans for the war front.
Petro Gaidashchuk, a senior communications officer for the 80th Air Assault Brigade, told Radio NV that while North Korean troops were still reported elsewhere on the battlefield, they'd "disappeared" from his brigade's part of the front.
"If we look at January, the front was saturated with North Koreans, in particular in the area of responsibility of the Galician Brigade," Gaidashchuk said in Ukrainian during the interview published on Monday. The 80th is sometimes referred to as a Galician Brigade.
