North Korea has released footage appearing to show Kim Jong Un's soldiers fighting for Russia on the brutal front lines in Ukraine.
The slick propaganda video, broadcast by the country's state television KRT, purports to show soldiers engaged in harsh combat in Russia's Kursk region, which borders northeastern Ukraine.
North Korean soldiers are seen advancing through snow-covered battlefields, shooting machine guns and artillery, launching missiles and grenades and manoeuvring through ruined buildings.
The undated video, which was screened during a ceremony led by Kim Jong Un to honour soldiers sent to fight for Russia, also shows soldiers undergoing medical procedures, singing, crying and waving the secretive nation's flag.
Kim Jong Un wept during the ceremony as he comforted families of 'heroic' troops who he sent to die fighting against Ukraine.
