That is the moment a North Korean soldier fighting for Russian troops triggered a landmine as he slid within 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 sensible!’
Suddenly, the North Korean soldier was seen next to a big 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 supply support to Vladimir Putin has killed and wounded some 4,700 North Koreans.
Tens of hundreds of troops were sent to fight in Ukraine or support the war, including in mine clearance, within the Kursk region of Russia, which was occupied by Ukraine earlier within the conflict.
An elite Ukrainian soldier previously told Metro 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, in keeping with the commander.
Puls, who spoke under a codename, and his comrades within the 1st Combat Divers Battalion have been fighting troops from the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) after the ‘brainwashed’ soldiers were flown greater 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 in addition described them as disciplined and motivated.
Kim Jong-un’s troops have been killed ‘throughout the first jiffy’ as they advance in ‘large waves’ on Ukrainian positions, in keeping with Puls.
At present, the North Koreans are absent from the battlefield within the areas where the SOF are fighting, which can indicate they’re rotating forces attributable to the high casualties they’ve suffered.
Evidence has emerged of attempts to hide the identity of the DPKR 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.
