Ukraine strikes military arsenal in Russia's Bryansk region stockpiling DPRK missiles, guided bombs

The Ukrainian Armed Forces' General Staff reported the information.

"Last night, units of the Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces, in cooperation with other components of the Defense Forces, inflicted a fire attack on the 67th arsenal of the Main Missile and Artillery Directorate of the Russian Defense Ministry in the Bryansk region," the statement says.
