Russia Likely Used North Korean Missile in Recent Ukraine Strike Near Kryvyi Rih
Two sources indicate that a recent Russian missile strike near Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine, which killed a family, likely involved a North Korean missile. This marks the first reported use of such a weapon in the conflict in nearly a year. Russia has previously deployed North Korean missiles in Ukraine, and the recent attack suggests Moscow may have replenished its stock amid intensified missile assaults on Ukrainian targets.
