North Korean soldier’s diary notes reveal disturbing tactic – World News – News

The strategy carries serious danger as many drones used by Kyiv on the battlefield, including the Switchblade ‘kamikaze’ drones, carry explosives.

Ukraine’s Special Forces said the North Korean carrying the diary died in a firefight alongside two others.

A translation of his writing has been published by the Wall Street Journal.

“Even at the cost of my life, I will carry out the Supreme Commander’s orders without hesitation,” reads one entry showing his dedication to the cause. “I will show the world the bravery and sacrifice of Kim Jong Un’s special forces.”

To memorize the bait tactic, he wrote: “If a UAV is spotted, gather in groups of three. One person must act as bait to lure the drone while the other two take aim and neutralize it with precision shooting. The bait must maintain a distance of seven meters from the drone. The other two should prepare to shoot down the drone from a distance of 10–12 meters. When the bait stands still, the drone will stop and it can be shot down.”

On Saturday, Zelensky shared images of two heavily bandaged North Korean soldiers resting in bunk beds who were detained in Kursk.

One of the prisoners has bandaged hands and wrists, while the other wears a bloodied bandage around his jaw.

“Our soldiers have captured North Korean soldiers in Kursk. These are two soldiers who, although wounded, survived, were taken to Kyiv, and are communicating” with Ukrainian security services, Zelensky said in a post on the Telegram messaging app.
