A LEAKED audio recording has revealed North Korean troops have suffered serious losses in Russia in another blow to Putin.
A conversation between a nurse and her husband, allegedly intercepted by Ukraine‘s Security Service suggests that Moscow‘s hospitals are crammed with injured soldiers.

The audio is a call between a nurse at a hospital in the capital and her husband who’s fighting in Kharkiv.
The woman can be heard saying: “Yesterday there was a train with about 100 people. Today, 120 others, making 200.
“How many more are there? God only knows.”
The woman continues by complaining that North Korean soldiers have taken over the country’s hospitals while injured Russians are treated in worse conditions.
The frustrated nurse explains that the language barrier causes problems as Kim’s men don’t speak any Russian and medical staff are not allowed to speak to them in English – and can only use an online translator which often leads to errors.
Meanwhile, a senior US military officer said “several hundred” of North Korean “cannon fodder” fighting alongside Vlad’s men have been killed or wounded in the frontline in Kursk.
He said: “Several hundred casualties is our latest estimate that the DPRK has suffered.
This “would include everything from… light wounds up to being KIA [killed in action],” he added saying their ranks had ranged from lower-level troops to “very near the top”.
The official said: “These are not battle-hardened troops. They haven’t been in combat before,” adding this contributes to”why they have been suffering the casualties that they have at the hands of the Ukrainians.”
Pyongyang has sent around 11,000 to Eastern Europe to fight Putin’s war against Ukraine.
The official’s comments on casualties came after Ukraine‘s commander-in-chief Oleksandr Syrsky said Russia has used North Korean troops at the heart of an “intensive offensive” in Kursk over several days.
The Ukrainian intelligence services also confirmed that “at least 30 [North Korean] soldiers were killed and wounded” in clashes over the weekend.
Footage released on Tuesday showed North Korean troops being nuked by US-supplied HIMARS missiles.
Drone footage released by various Ukrainian military sources identifies active soldiers in the Kursk region who are claimed to be North Korean.
Unsettling pictures show rows of bodies believed to be dead North Korean and Russian soldiers side-by-side after getting killed in battle.

And Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made a chilling claim about the fate of the casualties.
He said that Putin’s forces are burning the faces of dead North Korean soldiers to hide Russia‘s war losses.
He said: “Russia is not only involving North Korean soldiers in assaults on Ukrainian positions but also trying to hide the losses of these people.
“After the battles with our guys, the Russians are also trying to… literally burn the faces of the killed North Korean soldiers.
“This is a demonstration of the contempt that now reigns in Russia—contempt for everything human.
“There is no reason for Koreans to fight and die for Putin.
“And even after their death, all that awaits them from Russia is mockery.”
