South Korea's Defense Ministry also said it will review measures regarding possible supply of lethal weapons to Ukraine.

South Korean media claimed on Monday that Seoul could send military and intelligence personnel to Ukraine after the North dispatched troops to support Russia in the war.

A report said the government and military of South Korea “are reviewing a plan to send an appropriate number of personnel, including intelligence officers [specialized in North Korea] and experts in enemy tactics,” to Ukraine, citing a South Korean intelligence official.

South Korean personnel in Ukraine would interrogate or provide interpretation services if North Korean soldiers were captured by Ukrainian forces, the report said. They would also provide Kyiv with information about the North’s military tactics, doctrine, and operations.

    The bridges weren’t in use anyway. Why spend money maintaining infrastructure that could likely only aid your enemy? I don’t think they’re related. NK doesn’t want a war with the south. They’d lose, unless China defends them and then does the US get involved?

      China WILL defend NK just as they did in the 1950’s. China has no desire to see US influence anywhere near what they consider “their territories” and sphere of influence.

      At which point the US WILL get involved and we are off the race to Armageddon. []https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pklr0UD9eSo

      NK has a bigger army, and sure to receive support from neighbours. US has logistical issues in providing support. DPRK blowing up bridges does mean not seeking to use them for their own invasion, so on that point, you are right.
