SOME North Korean troops stationed along the border have donned a camouflage uniform similar to that worn by South Koreans, apparently to practise intrusion drills, a defence ministry official said Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The move prompted the South to advance the supply of new uniforms for its own troops to avoid confusion, the official told journalists in a background briefing.<\/p>\n
‘It’s been confirmed some North Korean frontline troops are wearing uniforms with woodland camouflage pattern which is similar to those of South Korean uniforms,’ the official said.<\/p>\n
‘Our judgment is that the North’s special forces stationed there are staging intrusion drills wearing the uniforms.’<\/p>\n
The South’s military has begun supplying new ‘digital camouflage’ uniforms and is considering speeding up the distribution following the North’s move.<\/p>\n
The North is believed to have some 200,000 special forces and to have deployed some 50,000 of them along the border with the South, the ministry said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
