Ukraine's Use of North Korean Rockets Raises Concerns in Russia

The Ukrainian military has been using rockets produced in North Korea against Russian positions near Bakhmut in the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia. The rockets, mostly from the 1980s and 90s, are not favored by Ukrainian troops due to their tendency to misfire or fail. It is unclear how Ukraine acquired these weapons, but it is unlikely that they came directly from North Korea, which supports Russia in the conflict. The rockets may have been taken from captured Russian tanks, according to Ukraine's Defense Ministry.
