Ukrainian forces have captured a wounded North Korean soldier who was sent to support the war with Russia, South Korea’s spy agency confirmed on Friday.
The soldier is believed to be the first North Korean prisoner of war since December, when Pyongyang deployed forces to support Russia’s war in Ukraine.
The confirmation came after a picture of a wounded soldier was shared on Telegram.
North Korea has sent more than 10,000 troops to help Russia, according to Kiev and Seoul, although Moscow and Pyongyang have neither confirmed nor denied their presence.
