Two unequal circles intersect at the points $M$ and $N$. From a point $D$ of the line $MN$, which is located towards $N$, we draw tangents to the two circles with touching points $S$ and $T$ . The perpendicular lines on the tangents at the points of touching intersect at $K$. Prove that $KM \perp MN$ if and only if the points $S,N,T$ are collinear.
