North Korea has lost another of its leading foreign diplomats following the defection of their man in London.

Furious Kim dubbed the Ealing-based Thae Yong-ho “human scum” and a “child rapist” following the betrayal and called for secret death squads to attack Britain.

But now the rotund ruler has lost another of his top men as his diplomat in charge of trade with Russia is believed to have defected south.

The tubby tyrant’s regime is warned to be about to crumble "at any moment" as North Korea’s elite abandons him.

The disappearance comes as President Putin is set to meet with South Korean president Park Geun-hye to discuss the brewing nuclear crisis.

Kim previously tried to warm up relations with Putin – sending him a letter requesting the two forge an alliance.

Putin previously warned the chubby despot North Korea could face invasion unless they stop provocative military action.

Sources confirmed the currently unnamed ambassador is the secretive state’s latest defector, when speaking to the Yonhap News Agency.

His whereabouts is currently unknown and he is understood to be based in Vladivostok – just 88 miles from the North Korean border.

He is believed to be in charge of covering North Korea’s trade agreements with the Kremlin.

The defection comes after Kim fired a ballistic missile into the Sea of Japan as he threatened to squash the US with “nuclear hammers of justice”.

Daily Star Online revealed the beggar kingdom is believed to have Brit and US soldiers jailed up in their gulags.

Starvation racks the nation as Kim has demanded his people give up their poo to fertilise their fields and for them to eat their dogs to stave off the hunger.
