A handwritten Korean character has been discovered on a ballistic missile launched by Russia against Ukraine. This evidence raises suspicions about North Korea supplying missiles to the aggressor country for the war against Ukraine.
As reported by Yonhap, experts from the British organization Conflict Armament Research found a handwritten Korean character "ã " on a fragment of one of the ballistic missiles launched by Russia at Ukraine.
"On a barometer documented in Ukraine on January 11, 2024 as part of the missile wreckage, CAR investigators observed a label with the handwritten Korean (Hangul) character 'ã '," the report states.
This inscription was discovered during the examination of the remains of the ballistic missile used by Russia to strike Kharkiv on January 2.
According to the report, no other Korean characters were found on other components of the missile. However, considering additional fragments such as clear guides of the rocket blade, the pattern of bolts around the fuse, and repeated marking with the number 112, experts from the British organization concluded that it may be a North Korean KN-23 missile.
Reminder: On January 4, White House National Security Council Coordinator John Kirby stated that Russia had acquired ballistic missiles from North Korea. These missiles have already been used to launch attacks against Ukraine.
