The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine showed at a meeting of the UN Security Council a fragment of a North Korean missile, which Russia used to hit the Kyiv region

Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiga at a special meeting of the UN Security Council demonstrated a fragment of the North Korean KN-23 missile, which was used by Russia to hit the territory of Ukraine, writes UNN.

This is a real, genuine part of the KN-23 missile that hit Ukraine. Such deadly weapons fall on our people all the time. Such a rocket contains about 500 kg of explosives. On November 13, such a rocket fell in Brovary near Kyiv

According to him, by providing weapons to Russia, North Korea wants to obtain technologies that will have an impact in the Pacific region.

We will remind

Experts of the Kyiv Scientific Research Institute of Forensic Examinations (KNDISE) established that during the combined attack on Ukraine on November 13, Russia used, among other things, North Korean ballistic missiles of the KN-23/24 type.

According to KNDISE experts, KN-23 combines both modern technologies and solutions of the past century. A significant percentage of microelectronics is produced in China, Taiwan, the USA and other countries. Most likely, the launches are carried out from North Korean-made launchers, since it would be much more difficult to adapt Russian systems.

Let’s add

Earlier, KNDISE specialists talked about the technical features of North Korean missiles, which Russia uses for attacks on Ukraine.
