Russia used N. Korean missile for strike that killed family: Zelenskyy

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claimed that Russia used a North Korean missile in an attack on the village of Radushne, which killed five members of the same family. This would mark the first confirmed use of such a weapon in the war in nearly a year. The attack occurred amid a broader assault involving dozens of missiles and hundreds of drones, resulting in at least nine deaths. According to a military source, Russia has previously used North Korean missiles but this latest deployment suggests a new supply of these weapons. The source noted that North Korean KN-23 or KN-24 missiles, detected by Ukrainian radar, have characteristics different from Russia’s Iskander missiles. While definitive confirmation requires analysis of missile fragments, the source expressed confidence in the identification. North Korea has supported Russia with both troops and artillery supplies, and Zelenskyy recently warned of potential further troop deployments.
