Preliminary information indicates that a North Korean missile may have been used in a strike that killed at least six family members in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast during Moscow's mass attack on Ukraine on July 30, President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
While North Korean missile have previously been used by in Russian attacks against Ukraine, the strikes marks the first such use in nearly a year.
Last week, Zelensky warned that as cooperation deepens, Pyongyang is preparing to send an additional 30,000 North Korean troops to support its war against Ukraine.
"Russia wants to receive another 30,000 troops from North Korea," Zelensky said on July 25.
In addition to military assistance, North Korea, alongside China and Iran, has been linked to economic activities in Russian-occupied Ukraine.
