Redox Reaction is defined chemical reaction in which oxidation and reduction takes place simultaneously. In Oxidation addition of oxygen occurs and in reduction addition of hydrogen occurs.
Potassium is getting oxidized by addition of oxygen.
Water us reduced to hydrogen gas by removal of oxygen
Combustion reaction is defined as chemical reaction in which burning of a chemical compound or element takes place in presence of oxygen occurs.
In the given reaction, oxygen molecule is absent which means this reaction is not combustion reaction.
Hence ,the given reaction redox reaction not a combustion reaction.
