South Korea’s intelligence agency has reported that a North Korean soldier, believed to be the first captured while supporting Russia’s war in Ukraine, has died after being taken alive by Ukrainian forces.

South Korea’s spy agency earlier on Friday confirmed Ukrainian reports that an injured North Korean soldier had been captured by Ukrainian forces, in what was likely to have been the first capture of its kind since Pyongyang had sent combat forces to bolster Russian forces in the war in Ukraine.

It's always difficult when someone injured is captured. I'm sure they did their best to help him under these circumstances.
