North Korean soldier blown up by landmine in Ukraine on sled | News World
This is the moment a North Korean soldier fighting for Russian troops triggered a landmine as he slid in the war zone.
The fighter sent to Russia by Kim Jong-un was blown backwards by the blast on a snowy forest path.
A Russian voice was heard saying: ‘The [North] Koreans are putting on a show…..****ing brilliant!’
Suddenly, the North Korean soldier was seen next to a large blast, prompting the Russian soldier filming to remark: ‘Oh f**k!’
It’s not known if the soldier survived the blast, but those nearby were seen scrambling afterwards.
Kim’s determination to offer support to Vladimir Putin has killed and wounded some 4,700 North Koreans.
Tens of thousands of troops were sent to fight in Ukraine or support the war, including in mine clearance, in the Kursk region of Russia, which was occupied by Ukraine earlier in the conflict.

An elite Ukrainian soldier previously told UK News how North Korean troops are blowing themselves up with grenades to avoid being captured alive.
One shouted ‘General Kim Jong-un’ before taking his own life as Kyiv’s Special Operations Forces (SOF) closed in, according to the commander.
Puls, who spoke under a codename, and his comrades in the 1st Combat Divers Battalion have been fighting troops from the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) after the ‘brainwashed’ soldiers were flown more than 4,000 miles to shore up Vladimir Putin’s forces in Kursk.
He said the reinforcements have been using cannon-fodder tactics ‘from the history books’ but also described them as disciplined and motivated.
Kim Jong-un’s troops have been killed ‘within the first few minutes’ as they advance in ‘large waves’ on Ukrainian positions, according to Puls.
At present, the North Koreans are absent from the battlefield in the areas where the SOF are fighting, which may indicate they are rotating forces due to the high casualties they have suffered.
Evidence has emerged of attempts to conceal the identity of the DPRK troops, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy saying that Russians have tried to burn the faces of their allies killed in battle.
The wartime leader’s armed forces have also said that fake documents have been issued to the reinforcements.
