Kyiv says a North Korean missile unit has deployed in Russia for the war in Ukraine, according to a report highlighted by The Japan Times and Reuters. The claim points to expanding military cooperation between Moscow and Pyongyang.
The reported deployment would add to concerns about North Korea’s role in supporting Russia’s war effort. The available account does not provide further details about the unit’s size, location or operational duties.
The development comes as fighting continues across Ukraine and scrutiny remains focused on foreign assistance to both sides. Kyiv’s statement underscores the increasingly international dimension of the conflict.
