A North Korean missile unit has begun deploying to western Russia, according to an official from Ukraine’s military intelligence agency. Kyiv says the deployment could support Russian strikes against Ukraine.
The unit may be equipped with as many as 120 ballistic missiles and six launchers, the Ukrainian official said. The assessment describes a potential expansion of North Korea’s military role in Russia’s war against Ukraine.
The information was presented as an assessment by Ukrainian intelligence, and the available report does not provide independent confirmation of the unit’s equipment or its operational role. Its reported deployment would further highlight military cooperation between Moscow and Pyongyang.
