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.
