Ukrainian paratroopers captured a North Korean soldier on the battlefield after a violent engagement. The soldier attempted to avoid capture by running headfirst into a concrete pillar. Despite being found with a grenade, knife, and food, he did not respond to commands. Paratroopers noted his visible injuries and suggested his headbutting of the pillar might have been a strategy to ambush them. After the capture, the soldier received food and entertainment before being taken away from front lines, raising questions about tactics employed by North Korean soldiers in conflict.
When we brought him near the road, suddenly he ran headfirst into a concrete pillar at full speed. He hit it very hard and probably passed out.
I think he was faking it, trying to get us close so he could grab a weapon and attack us.
With gestures, we showed him what to do.
The soldier was carrying a grenade, a knife, and a sausage, the paratroopers said.
