Russia attacks Ukraine for the first time with North Korean missiles

Russia has attacked Ukraine with missiles supplied by North Korea for the first time since it launched its invasion two years ago, a Kiev official said on Friday, confirming earlier White House estimates. .

He said this on the social network X, after the governor of the northeastern Kharkiv region, said that the region was attacked with missiles expressed by Russia, which were not of Russian production.

"There is no more disguise... in its genocidal war, the Russian Federation for the first time hit Ukrainian territory with missiles it received from North Korea," said senior Kiev official Mykhailo Podolyak.

He offered no evidence that the missiles were North Korean. In a press release on Thursday, Washington cited US intelligence.

"[Russia] is attacking Ukrainians with missiles that it took from a country where citizens are tortured in concentration camps, just because they have an unregistered radio, because they talk to a tourist, or because they watch TV shows," Podolyak said.

The Kremlin has not responded to questions about US assessments that Russia fired short-range North Korean missiles into Ukraine.

The United Nations imposed an arms embargo on North Korea in 2006, when it conducted its first nuclear test.

The resolutions of the UN Security Council, approved with the support of Russia, prohibit countries from trading arms or other military equipment with North Korea./ REL
