Investing.com -- A North Korean KN-23 (KN-23A) ballistic missile was used in a significant aerial attack on Kyiv, according to Reuters, citing a Ukrainian military source. The attack, which occurred overnight, led to the death of at least eight people. The missile hit a residential building in the Sviatoshynskyi district, situated west of Kyiv’s center. As of Thursday morning, around 10 individuals were still unaccounted for, with officials at the site indicating some may be trapped under debris.
While Russia has not directly commented on this particular strike, the Kremlin has stated that its attacks are aimed at "military and military-adjacent" targets. Both Russia and North Korea have denied any weapons transfers that would be in violation of U.N. embargoes.
North Korea had supplied Russia with 148 KN-23 and KN-24 ballistic missiles, according to Ukraine’s military spy agency. The KN-23 (KN-23A) missiles are equipped with warheads weighing up to one tonne, a payload more powerful than that of Russian equivalent missiles, the Ukrainian source shared.
The Ukrainian military has not made a public statement about the type of missile used in the attack. However, in a report following the Russian attack, Kyiv identified seven ballistic missiles used in total, broadly classifying them as Iskander-M/KN-23.
North Korea’s role in the Ukraine conflict has raised concerns not only among European capitals but also among South Korea and its Asian allies.
