Russia using North Korean missiles to strike Ukraine, Zelensky says
Ukraine's president says strikes in Zaporizhzhia - which killed at least six and injured 19 - involved ballistic missiles from Russia's ally.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of using North Korean missiles in recent strikes on Ukraine, specifically targeting the southern city of Zaporizhzhia. This incident resulted in seven deaths and at least 24 injuries. Russian warehouses belonging to the online retailer Wildberries were also struck in Voronezh, western Russia.
Zelensky stated that Russia cannot wage war without reinforcements from North Korea and warned that more North Korean soldiers may be deployed to fight alongside Russian forces. He further claimed that the strikes pose a danger to the rest of the world. Ukraine has reported dozens of North Korean missiles fired by Russia into its territory since the full-scale invasion in February 2022.
