NORTH Korean troops fighting for Vladimir Putin have retreated from the frontline after nearly half of them were wiped out, a Ukrainian claims. The withdrawal comes as Kyiv eliminated one of Pyongyang's top commanders and managed to capture his body. He appears to be the most senior killed out of Kim Jong-un's 4,000 troops left injured or dead in the fighting, Volodymyr Zelensky claims.

Pyongyang has shipped 11,000 troops to Russia as Putin desperately tries to recapture Ukrainian-controlled Kursk. Ukrainian special forces commander Puls told Sky News the North Koreans had fled from the fighting but would be "back soon" to the frontline.

Puls said the soldiers pulled back a fortnight ago to regroup, tend to wounded, or wait for reinforcements. He said: "The Russians are standing, working everywhere along the frontline, but no Koreans. "They're still present, training or waiting for reinforcements. Something is happening, they'll be back soon.".

Ukrainian troops also revealed North Korean soldiers have blown themselves up with grenades rather than risk capture. One is even thought to have shouted "For General Kim Jong-un" before taking his own life. North Korean soldiers attack in WW2-style groups of between 20 to 60 - making themselves easy targets for Ukrainian drones and artillery.
