A NORTH Korean soldier who defected this year may have been vaccinated against anthrax, sparking fears Kim Jong-un’s regime have weaponised the killer disease.

South Korean authorities have revealed a defector was found to have antibodies in his bloodstream which may suggest he has developed an immunity, according to The Sun.

The soldier’s identity has not been revealed but it is believed he was either exposed to anthrax or directly vaccinated against it, reports UPI.

A South Korean intelligence official, speaking on condition of anonymity to South Korean news network Channel A, said: “Anthrax antibodies have been found in the North Korean soldier who defected this year.”

The deadly disease can kill at least 80 per cent of those who are exposed to the bacterium in 24 hours, unless antibiotics are taken or vaccination is available.

It is understood South Korea’s military have yet to build up enough stocks of the anthrax vaccine.

Defence Ministry spokeswoman Choi Hyun-soo has said an anthrax “vaccine is expected to be developed by the end of 2019”.
