A joint CSIS and George W. Bush Institute report says 12,000 North Korean workers have been sent to Russia’s Alabuga special economic zone to assemble Shahed-type attack drones. The report says they are paid $2.50 an hour, while Pyongyang takes 70% to 90% of their wages. Russian youth and other foreign workers are also employed there, with researchers alleging coercive labor practices affecting multiple groups.
