【Key Focus: Kim Jong-un praises the returning North Korean engineers from Russia, "creating a miracle"]
Pyeongyang time December 12, 2025, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un said at the welcome ceremony for the 528th Engineering Regiment of the Korean People's Army:
The regiment was established and ordered by the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea on May 28, aiming to consolidate valuable victories in foreign military operations. It went into battle in early August and achieved brilliant military achievements in engineering combat tasks in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation, an area liberated at the cost of the lives of comrades.
Kim Jong-un added:
The achievements are not the result of individual accomplishments, but rather the collective bravery of all soldiers — from commanders to ordinary soldiers. The situation of the engineers was extremely severe. They had to face terrible dangers, with every step on the threshold of life and death, passing tests of faith and willpower. However, all the soldiers of the North Korean engineering forces acted bravely and responsibly, without the slightest hesitation or delay.
Kim Jong-un emphasized:
The result created a miracle: within the shortest period of time — less than three months — this vast territory's dangerous areas, which were difficult to neutralize for years, became safe areas.
