2 out of 5 missiles Russia launched at Kharkiv are from North Korea

On 7 February, Russia used North Korean missiles to strike the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, according to a Kharkiv regional police chief Serhiy Bolvinov. 

Facing a shortage of domestically-produced ammunition and restricted access to global markets, Russia has turned to North Korea for help in order to wage the war in Ukraine. In exchange, Moscow has assisted Pyongyang in unfreezing some of its assets in international banks. North Korea possesses nuclear weapons and periodically threatens the US.

“2 out of 5 missiles fired at Kharkiv in the morning are of North Korean origin,” Bolvinov wrote on Facebook.

He added that according to preliminary findings by experts, these are North Korean KN-23 (HVASON 11GA) missiles.
