The Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine has announced preliminary evidence suggesting the use of North Korean-made missiles by russian forces in the war. This marks a potentially significant escalation in the war, given North Korea’s pariah status and international sanctions for its nuclear program.
According to Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin, fragments recovered from a missile attack on Kharkiv on January 2 underwent scientific and technical analysis, revealing its origin as a short-range missile developed by North Korea. While a comprehensive expert commission is still pending for definitive confirmation, military experts within the PGO’s interdepartmental working group concur with the preliminary findings.
