Ukraine has accused North Korea of providing Russia with new ballistic missiles and personnel for use in strikes against Ukraine. The accusation involves around 90 North Koreans and multiple missile launchers. Separately, a report says Pyongyang has already sent a new batch of 40 KN-23 and KN-24 missiles and personnel to Russia, with the final configuration of the deployment and total number of missiles to be decided at top-level talks next month. Reports also indicate that a North Korean missile was used in a recent Russian attack. This development signals heightened military collaboration between Moscow and Pyongyang, following their treaty signed in June 2024.
