North Korea has reportedly shipped around 7,000 containers filled with munitions and military equipment to Russia since last year to support its war efforts in Ukraine. This revelation was made by South Korea's defense minister at a recent news conference.
Amid escalating tensions, North Korea fired multiple short-range ballistic missiles into its eastern waters, as confirmed by the South Korean and Japanese militaries. The country has been using Russia's invasion of Ukraine as a distraction to intensify its weapons tests and has aligned with Moscow over the conflict.
