In an article published on 4 December, since deleted from , we stated that Kim Jong Un had ‘sent Korean women to fight as cannon fodder for Putin in Ukraine’. This had been based on imagery provided to us by a trusted freelance reporter. Following publication it came to light that the image was likely a doctored version of a photograph which had originally been published in 2023, and which had not featured North Korean women. We apologise for any confusion caused.
