Ukrainian military personnel became the first to destroy the North Korean self-propelled artillery installation 'Koksan' during the great war. This was reported by the press service of the operational-strategic grouping 'Khortytsia'.
The fighters of the 412th separate drone systems regiment 'Nemesis' managed to get rid of this equipment.
