A North Korean soldier killed on the front line in Ukraine was sent there to punish him for betraying leader Kim Jong Un, it was claimed yesterday.
Special forces commander Jeong Hong Jung, 27, was among up to 3,000 North Koreans believed to have been killed or wounded while trying to retake the Kursk region that Russia invaded.

The fighter's recovered diary reveals that he confessed to committing an unknown act of treason against the ruling Workers' Party of Korea.
The Ukrainian intelligence service claimed that his memoirs said: “My homeland gave me a way to be born again, to have a new start in life.”
The price of his “rebirth” was to fight for Russia in the illegal “meat grinder” war.
Jung, who died of his wounds after his capture, is the first Korean to be identified.
Russia has never acknowledged the participation of about 11,000 soldiers from Kim Jong Un's forces in the war.
Earlier in the week, The Sun reported on a bizarre North Korean soldier's memoir that showed Ukrainian drones attacking Kim Jong Un's forces.
The soldier pledged to sacrifice his life by fighting in Vladimir Putin's war, according to what was stated in the memoirs he published Ukrainian army.
Neither Pyongyang nor Moscow have confirmed the presence of incapacitated North Korean forces, but evidence has been discovered by Kiev forces.
The Ukrainian military has released photos of a diary discovered by a dead North Korean soldier in the Kursk battle zone in Russia – where Zelensky's forces launched a surprise border incursion in August.
These pages revealed the twisted mentality of this ill-fated soldier Kim Jong Un.
