N.Koreans blow themselves up rather than risk capture

North Korean troops appear to have temporarily pulled back from the frontline in Russia after suffering heavy losses.

Axar.az informs that this information was reported by "Sky News".

It is said that North Korean soldiers are likely either learning lessons from mistakes made during their first, bloody clashes with Ukrainian soldiers, tending to their wounded or waiting for reinforcements.

Initially, the North Korean soldiers were unaware of the serious threats posed by drones and artillery. Their tactic at first was to carry out infantry assaults in groups of 20, 40, or even 60 people, which made them easy targets for Ukrainian soldiers.

Ukrainian soldiers told a "Sky News" journalist that the North Korean forces are trying to erase their presence in the combat zone:

"North Korean soldiers, wearing white helmets, taking their wounded and dead off the battlefield."

Additionally, North Korean soldiers categorically refuse to be taken as prisoners. To avoid capture, they often blow themselves up. One North Korean soldier even blew himself up with a grenade, shouting 'For General Kim Jong Un!

The publication, citing Ukrainian soldiers, mentioned poor coordination between North Korean and Russian forces because of the language barrier. One soldier claimed radio intercepts revealed North Koreans accidentally targeted Russian positions.
