This missile system is a medium-range ballistic missile carrier, according to Ukrainian military websites Militarnyi and Defense Express.
"Since no similar systems are currently in service with the Russian army, it's highly likely this is the North Korean Pukguksong-2," Militarnyi says.
The first successful test of the Pukguksong-2 (KN-15) was conducted in 2017. Reports confirm that the missile has a range of 1,200 to 1,300 km.
