A Ukrainian paratroop unit captured a North Korean soldier who attempted to take his own life before expressing interest in watching Korean romance movies, it was reported on Tuesday. The 95th assault brigade soldier described the scene where the soldier, already wounded in battle, suddenly ran and hit his head on a pillar while being escorted by Ukrainian forces. This comes amid Kyiv’s surprise offensive last August, which saw North Korea deploy around 12,000 soldiers to support Russia’s efforts to expel Ukrainian troops from the Kursk region.
