Does committing kufr count as a divorce

Q: If someone commits kufr and they have to renew their marriage, does this count as a divorce? Have they used up one of their 3 divorces?

A: This does not count as divorce. Hence, the husband will still have three talaaqs.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
