"Russia Utilizes North Korean Missiles in Ukraine, Escalating Tensions and Bypassing Air Defenses"

A senior Kyiv official has claimed that Russia used North Korean-supplied missiles against Ukraine for the first time, a statement supported by earlier comments from the White House. The claim follows observations of non-Russian-made missile debris in the Kharkiv region. The U.S. has declassified intelligence suggesting the use of North Korean short-range ballistic missiles with a range of about 900 km. North Korea is under a U.N. arms embargo, and both Russia and North Korea have previously denied arms trade allegations, despite vowing to deepen military relations.
