Russia used North Korean ballistic missiles in August 5 Kyiv attack - Defense Express

He shared this on Espreso TV on August 6.

"Yesterday, explosions were heard in Kyiv as Russia attacked the capital with ballistic weapons. The Air Force report officially states that the Russian army used Iskander-M missiles. However, according to our information, one of the missiles that fell on the outskirts of Kyiv, in the forest near Brovary, was produced in North Korean, specifically a KN-23 missile. At the crash site, fragments with markings typical of missiles from North Korea were found," Defense Express editor-in-chief said.

He emphasized that missiles from North Korea are of low quality and often disintegrate in the air. 

"A video of yesterday's attack circulating online shows a missile falling uncontrollably. This further confirms that it was a missile from North Korea. It is well known that half of North Korean missiles fail to reach their targets and often disintegrate in the air. It is clear that at least one of the North Korean missiles broke apart in the air and fell chaotically to the ground during yesterday's attack. It is unlikely that the Kyiv suburbs were the intended target," he added.

• After a break, Russia has resumed deploying missile weapons from North Korea in their attacks on Ukraine. During the strike on Ukraine on July 31, Russia also used a KN-23 ballistic missile from North Korea, which failed to reach its target.
