Details of the Allegation
In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), President Zelenskyy indicated that preliminary investigations into the overnight strikes confirmed the involvement of the North Korean weaponry. The attacks specifically focused on critical energy facilities, further straining the country's power grid amid the ongoing conflict.
The KN-23, also known as the Hwasong-11Ga, is a short-range ballistic missile developed by North Korea. The Ukrainian government has previously raised concerns regarding the deepening military cooperation between Moscow and Pyongyang, citing the deployment of North Korean munitions on the battlefield as a significant escalation in the war.
As of now, international observers continue to monitor the situation to verify the extent of North Korean military support provided to Russian forces in their campaign against Ukraine.
