North Korean missile unit deploys in Russia for Ukraine war, Kyiv says
Ukraine says the unit could field 120 ballistic missiles and six launchers as Russia expands military cooperation with Pyongyang, officials said.
- A North Korean missile unit has begun deploying to Russia's western Voronezh region, according to Andrii Cherniak of Ukraine's Main Directorate of Intelligence, potentially equipped with 120 ballistic missiles and six launchers for strikes against Ukraine.
- This deployment expands military cooperation established since the two powers signed a mutual defense pact in 2024, following North Korea's prior supply of millions of artillery shells and 14,000 troops to Russia's Kursk region.
- Pyongyang has already sent a new batch of 40 KN-23 and KN-24 missiles to Russia, weapons that Ukrainian officials say exploit critical vulnerabilities in Kyiv's high-end air defenses and are particularly difficult to intercept.
- Rob Lee, a senior fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute, warned of increased dangers for Kyiv, stating, "Ballistic missile defence is one of Ukraine's greatest vulnerabilities so any increase in the quantities of ballistic missiles they face will pose a greater challenge."
- Top-Level talks in September will finalize the deployment's configuration and total missile numbers, while Ukrainian intelligence officials warn Russia may exploit these resources to target the power grid during winter.
