A Ukrainian news outlet has published a video showing the capture of a North Korean soldier, as South Korea's spy agency said Kim Jong Un has pulled troops from Russia's Kursk region. Newsweek has contacted the Russia's Foreign Ministry for comment.

Beijing-based travel agency, Koryo Tours, said the February tour in Rason would be "the first trip back to North Korea since the borders closed in January 2020"

The commander described the North Korean troops as "cannon fodder" and said their behavior in combat was erratic.

Ukraine`s Special Operations Forces fighters who captured the North Koreans share their story with RBC-Ukraine. Ukrainian soldiers explain how they managed to capture the DPRK military and what the Koreans say about Russia's war against Ukraine.
