"North Korean Arms Factories at Full Capacity for Russia, South Korea Reports"
South Korea's defense minister revealed that North Korean munitions factories are operating at full capacity to produce weapons and shells for Russia, in exchange for food and other necessities. This comes as Russia's war in Ukraine continues, with Moscow in need of fresh supplies of ammunition and shells. The deliveries from Pyongyang to Moscow have been ongoing since a summit between Kim Jong Un and Vladimir Putin, signaling closer relations between the two nations. The US and its allies are concerned about the technology North Korea is seeking from Russia in return for weaponry, which could significantly advance North Korea's capabilities in areas it has not fully developed.
