Vladimir Putin ‘sends troops and tanks to Russia’s border with North Korea’ as tensions rise

Russian president Vladimir Putin has reportedly sent troops and weapons to the country’s border with North Korea as tension continues to escalate in the region.

A video has emerged apparently showing one of three trains loaded with military equipment moving towards the 11 mile-long land frontier between Russia and the rogue state.

Another video highlights military helicopter movements towards the North Korean border and manoeuvres across rough terrain by army combat vehicles.

There have been concerns that if a conflict breaks out Russia could face a humanitarian exodus from North Korea.
