Last month, it was reported that Russia was providing satellite data to assist the Yemeni Houthis in their attacks on ships in the Red Sea.

It was previously reported that North Korean soldiers were fighting in the Russian city of Kursk, which is under Ukrainian occupation, and the Russians tacitly accepted the allegations.
