You can now listen to Fox News articles straight from the source! Recent state media footage has captured North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un expressing deep emotions as he paid respects to the coffins of North Korean soldiers. These soldiers were reportedly killed during their involvement in Russia’s ongoing conflict with Ukraine.
The footage, which aired on Korean Central Television and was covered by South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency, showed Kim placing a North Korean flag on a casket. This poignant display took place during a cultural event at the East Pyongyang Grand Theater held to commemorate the first-year anniversary of North Korea’s military partnership with Moscow.
Fox News also presents satellite imagery revealing damages to North Korea’s naval destroyer following an unsuccessful launch. During the same event in Pyongyang, Kim Jong Un appeared visibly upset at the sight of the harmed destroyer.
Additional images from the program included visuals of North Korean soldiers alongside Russian troops and a bloodstained notebook reportedly retrieved from the battlefields in Russia’s Kursk region. The notebook contained messages from the soldiers expressing their determination to fight, affirming their loyalty to Kim as their Supreme Commander.
The joint cultural event in Pyongyang also featured the presence of Russian Culture Minister Olga Lyubimova, who was seen crying as reported by Yonhap. The aim of these images, according to Hong Min, a senior analyst at the Korea Institute for National Unification, is to create a "victory narrative" following the joint military operations in Ukraine.
