Ukraine shows evidence that Russia launched North Korean missiles at Kharkiv
Prosecutor's office notes that the method of production is not similar to the Russian one
A representative of the Kharkiv Regional Prosecutor's Office, Dmytro Chubenko, said that the debris from one of the missiles that hit Kharkiv on January 2 did not look like the debris from missiles used by Russia before, which may indicate its North Korean origin.
Source. Reuters reports.
On Thursday, the governments of the United States, the United Kingdom, and South Korea announced that North Korea had supplied Russia with a certain number of ballistic missiles.
Kyiv later confirmed that in the first days of January, Russia did indeed use missiles previously unfamiliar to the Ukrainian army.
According to Reuters, Chubenko showed journalists the wreckage of the missile and described its features as follows: "The production method is not very modern. There are deviations from the standard Iskander missiles that we once saw in the strikes on Kharkiv. This missile looks like one of the North Korean missiles."
According to him, it differs from the Iskander by having a slightly larger diameter and a shaped tail section.
"That is why we are inclined to believe that this could be a missile supplied by North Korea," the official said. He declined to name a specific model of the missile.
Background. Earlier, the media reported that North Korea did not reduce, but rather increased, the supply of missiles to Russia.
