Yurii Ihnat, the spokesman for the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said that the Air Force cannot yet confirm information about Russia's use of ballistic missiles purchased from the DPRK.
Air Force cannot yet confirm Russia's use of missiles from North Korea
We will find out what exactly they hit with ballistic missiles, what kind of ballistic missiles and whose missiles they used. So far, we have no evidence that such missiles were used. The statement came from the United States. Therefore, experts will study certain fragments and then it will be possible to say whether this fact exists or not. So far, I cannot confirm this, said Ihnat.
Ihnat also said that many of the weapons in North Korea are Soviet, and many technologies were also transferred by the Soviet Union. "Perhaps it is even identical. So we can hardly expect anything new. It may differ in some ways from the Iskander, but not too much," the official said.

According to US intelligence, Russian ships have been regularly visiting the North Korean port of Rason since August. The DPRK has sent about 2,000 containers of weapons to Russia.
US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said the United States is concerned about military cooperation between Russia and North Korea.
White House National Security Council Coordinator, John Kirby, said that Russia had acquired ballistic missiles from North Korea. They have already been used to attack Ukraine.
Soon after, WP reported that North Korea could have transferred several dozen ballistic missiles to Russia to strike Ukraine.
