Are the North Korean authorities aware of fatalities suffered by North Korean forces deployed to Russia?
“The state has already received reports of the situation, with information delivered and reported as normal through the military command system. The military manages related information moment to moment, while the Supreme Command and Central Military Commission strictly manage the information regularly once a month through its reporting line.”
Daily NK: Has word of North Korean fatalities spread within the military?
“Indoctrination activities are being planned in the Storm Corps and other units from which combat personnel have been sent to Russia since authorities predict potential individual unrest or rumors.”
Hmm. Well, thanks for that.
Daily NK: With casualties seemingly mounting, why hasn’t a decision to withdraw been made?
“The decision to deploy troops to the battlefield was made to maintain the international military relationship between North Korea and Russia and to ensure the strategic national interests of the North Korean and Russian peoples, so a withdrawal is not being considered.”
It's all been decided between Putin and Kim Jong-un. They both know that the North Korean troops are just cannon fodder, and they don't care.
