A group of Russian soldiers were found dead aboard a ship that had burst into flames near to the coast of South Korea.
Four dead soldiers working under despot and Russian President Vladimir Putin were found aboard the ship, which had caught fire off the coast of South Korea.

Bodies were found on the ship at 00.43 local time, with the four men aboard the Russian ship "Kaltan" at the time of their deaths.
The ship, which had reportedly travelled from Vladivostok, Russia, turned up in the South Korean waters and held a cargo of seafood which was reportedly on its way back to Russia from Busan.
The seemingly routine trip for the ship turned fatal however when travelling from the South Korean city and back, presumably, to the Vladivostok port.
Currently, the ship is in port at the South Korean city of Ulsan, where the Kaltan was taken following the fire.
Of the 25 sailors on board the ship, four were killed while 21 were successfully evacuated from the burning vehicle.

From those 21 survivors, only two received minor injuries as a result of the blaze which left the cook, two sailors and chief mate dead, Tass reported.
It is not the first woeful showcase of Russia's seafaring disasters, with The Daily Star reporting a so-called "spy ship" attempting to hack the UK internet in the North Sea.
Said boat was intercepted according to experts keeping an eye on the area, with Dutch military intelligence chief Major-General Jan Swillens confirming the interception.
They said at the time: "What we have seen in recent months is that Russian actors have been trying to understand how the energy supply in the North Sea is organised, with the intention of disrupting it."
