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 further strikes against Ukraine.
The unit may be equipped with as many as 120 ballistic missiles and six launchers, the Ukrainian official said. The statement did not establish whether the full reported arsenal has already arrived or been placed into operation.
The reported movement adds to concerns in Kyiv about military cooperation between North Korea and Russia. Ukraine’s intelligence assessment links the deployment to potential attacks against Ukrainian targets, though the available information remains an allegation from the Ukrainian side.
