Kyiv, Ukraine - Russia launched missile, drone, and glide bomb attacks on Ukrainian cities on Tuesday, resulting in at least nine civilian deaths, officials reported. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claimed that Moscow is receiving new military assistance from North Korea for its ongoing four-year invasion of Ukraine. Zelenskyy specifically mentioned Russian forces utilizing ballistic missiles provided by North Korea in an overnight assault on the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia, where six people were killed and 19 wounded.
Three additional individuals, including a 15-year-old boy, were killed by Russian drones and artillery in the central Dnipropetrovsk region, according to authorities.
Moreover, Zelenskyy disclosed on Monday that North Korea is set to deploy a larger contingent of its troops to Russia. The strategic partnership agreement between Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, signed in 2024, vows mutual aid if either nation faces aggression. North Korea has reportedly sent thousands of soldiers and substantial weaponry to bolster Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Some analysts suggest that this alliance with Moscow is contributing to the conflict's progression.
