They must have guessed that we want to take their fighter, and massive artillery fire began. Moreover, they shot very close and very accurately. They didn’t want us to take him from there until the last moment. One FPV drone was also involved. He didn’t hit either, but that’s good for us

According to the publication, this is the third attempt to capture North Korean servicemen. The first North Korean soldier who was captured was seriously wounded and died shortly after capture, the second committed suicide. Therefore, the prisoner was examined and the means with which he could harm himself were taken from him.

The prisoner was given an anesthetic injection, after which he was handed over to medics. According to the Ukrainian military, he really wanted to drink and eat.
