Russia Launches Missile Attacks in Ukraine Amid Zelenskyy’s North Korea Support Claims
Russian forces launched missile, drone, and glide bomb attacks across Ukrainian cities, killing at least nine to ten civilians, including in Zaporizhzhia and Dnipropetrovsk regions. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia of receiving new ballistic missiles and troop support from North Korea, citing a strategic partnership between Moscow and Pyongyang. The attacks targeted industrial and civilian infrastructure amid Ukraine's shortage of air defense interceptors. Both sides continue military actions, with Ukraine also striking Russian facilities in retaliation.
