In a chilling display of totalitarian control, Kim Jong Un has publicly lauded North Korean soldiers who detonated grenades to kill themselves while fighting alongside Russian forces in Ukraine.
During a ceremony in Pyongyang, the dictator labeled these acts of self-destruction as the 'height of loyalty,' framing the gruesome deaths as a defense of the regime's 'great honour.' This rhetoric confirms long-standing intelligence reports that North Korean troops are under explicit orders to commit suicide rather than face capture.
South Korean intelligence estimates that at least 15,000 North Korean soldiers have been deployed to the Kursk region to bolster Russia's war effort, with reports suggesting over 6,000 have already been killed. The regime’s indoctrination is so severe that North Korean prisoners of war have expressed regret for failing to take their own lives.
By celebrating this 'self-blasting' policy, Kim continues to demonstrate the total disregard for human life that defines his rogue state, further cementing his alliance with Vladimir Putin as they deepen their military cooperation against the West.
