Russia’s armed forces have launched several North Korean-made ballistic missiles into Ukraine over the last week and could make further use of similar weapons in the coming days, the White House has said.
National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby told reporters on Thursday that US intelligence had indicated that Pyongyang had recently supplied the weapons — including several launchers and ballistic missiles — to the Russian government, which launched at least one of them into Ukrainian territory on 30 December.
