Ukraine claims Russia used North Korean missile in air attack

On the 1619th day of Russia's full-scale invasion, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that Russia employed a North Korean missile in its latest air assault. This accusation, if verified, would represent a significant escalation in international involvement in the conflict, suggesting a deepening military partnership between Moscow and Pyongyang.

The ongoing war, which commenced on February 24, 2022, has seen intense fighting, particularly in eastern and southern Ukraine. Following Ukraine's successful defense against Russia's initial attempts to capture the capital, Kyiv, the strategic focus of the conflict has largely concentrated on these southern and eastern fronts.
