Russia using North Korean missiles to strike Ukraine, Zelenskyy says

Zelenskyy said the attacks killed at least nine civilians and showed Moscow is relying more on North Korean weapons and troops.

  • On Tuesday, Russian attacks across Ukraine killed at least nine people, with Kyiv claiming North Korean ballistic missiles struck Zaporizhzhia, where six died and 19 were wounded.
  • President Volodymyr Zelensky recently warned of deepening military ties between Moscow and Pyongyang, alleging on Monday that Russia received additional ballistic missiles and plans to deploy 30,000 to 50,000 North Koreans.
  • Ukraine reports an acute shortage of US-made Patriot interceptors since the US-Israeli war against Iran began, complicating efforts to counter Russia's considerably stepped-up ballistic missile strikes.
  • A children's hospital in Kyiv sustained damage with broken windows and debris, though staff and patients remained unharmed in shelters; strikes also caused power outages in Kherson and Kharkiv.
  • The United Nations reports civilian deaths have reached their highest level since 2022, as the 2024 mutual defence pact between Russia and North Korea continues to fuel escalation in Kursk.
