Ukraine says Russia fired North Korean missiles in overnight attack
Russian attacks across Ukraine killed at least nine people overnight and wounded dozens, Kyiv said Tuesday, accusing Moscow of launching North Korean-supplied missiles in the raid.
Ukrainian officials said Russian attacks across the country killed at least nine people overnight and wounded dozens more, with Kyiv accusing Moscow of using North Korean-supplied missiles in the strikes. The claim adds to mounting evidence of Pyongyang's material support for Russia's war effort.
The attacks targeted cities including Zaporizhzhia and Dnipropetrovsk, according to local officials. Ukraine's military said it retaliated with a drone strike on Russia's Voronezh region and hit a Russian oil refinery in Orsk.
The overnight exchange of strikes follows a deadly weekend of attacks that left civilian casualties mounting on both sides. Ukrainian officials say the reported use of North Korean weapons on the battlefield underscores the growing international dimension of the conflict.
