Daily Mail Retracts Fake News Story with Fake Image of North Korean Soldiers in Russia

These people will just publish fake shit to start wars.

It never ends with these people.

The Daily Mail has had to retract a story which falsely claimed to provide evidence that female North Korean soldiers are assisting Russia in the Ukraine conflict. The image upon which the report was based turned out to be doctored.

The story originally published by the British tabloid on Wednesday claimed that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un had sent women “to fight as cannon fodder for [Russian President] Vladimir Putin in Ukraine.” The allegation was based on a picture of two women in uniforms, which the newspaper claimed was taken in Zheleznogorsk, a large city in the northwest of Kursk Region. The women were identified as sisters “Wei and Lin.”

The fake image is apparently based on a still from a video published last year by a Donetsk-linked channel, featuring twin sisters, who tell a camera operator that they are 25 years old and come from the city of Makeevka. Both claim to have been serving in armed forces since 2014, initially as members of the Donetsk militia.

In a correction, the Daily Mail said later in the day that the fabricated photograph had been provided to it by a “trusted freelance reporter” and apologized for “confusion caused” by its erroneous reporting.

They don’t even look Korean.

The Daily Mail is a goofy and pornographic tabloid, which has no credibility in the first place. But what will happen is, they will publish the fake news, then other sources will cite them, like “well, we can’t confirm it, but the Daily Mail has proved it.” Then when the hoax gets exposed, everyone who copied it just says “how were we supposed to know the Daily Mail was making that shit up?”
