Remnants of ballistic missiles produced in North Korea have been found throughout Ukraine, further confirming U.S. accusations that Pyongyang is arming Russia’s war effort, according to a new unclassified report released Wednesday by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA).
Since November, the West has assessed that North Korea has been providing artillery shells, rockets and missile to Russia to support the Kremlin’s war against Ukraine, a claim Pyongyang has staunchly denied. The shipments from North Korea are considered a violation of numerous U.N. sanctions on both countries.
Using publicly available images, DIA analysts confirmed debris found in Kharkiv on Jan. 2 is from a North Korean short-range missile. A side-by-side analysis of the pictures “shows that the missile debris in Ukraine is almost certainly of a North Korean ballistic missile,” according to the report.
Ukrainian officials earlier in January identified fragments of North Korean missiles, including the short-range Hwasong 11, which can fly as far as around 430 miles and is also known as the KN-23.
