Russia has begun deploying a North Korean missile unit equipped with up to 120 ballistic missiles and six launchers for use in its war against Ukraine, a Ukrainian intelligence official told told Reuters<\/a> on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The reported escalation marks a deepening military partnership between Moscow and Pyongyang, with around 90 North Korean<\/a> personnel expected to be stationed in Russia’s western Voronezh region to support the new unit, according to Andrii Cherniak of Ukraine’s Main Directorate of Intelligence (HUR).<\/p>\n

Cherniak also claimed Pyongyang has already delivered a fresh batch of 40 KN-23 and KN-24 ballistic missiles<\/a> to Russian forces, Reuters said.<\/p>\n

Final details of the deployment are expected to be finalized during high-level bilateral talks<\/a> next month.<\/p>\n

The intelligence report follows a massive Russian barrage against Kyiv<\/a> and the surrounding region on Aug. 4.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy<\/a> said Moscow launched 24 ballistic missiles, four cruise missiles and 115 drones overnight, killing at least 17 people.<\/p>\n

Zelenskyy argued more lives could have been saved had Western allies replenished Ukraine’s depleted stockpiles<\/a> of air defense interceptors.<\/p>\n

Zelenskyy previously warned that Moscow had been preparing since June to receive additional North Korean military personnel in the Voronezh region, according to to reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cherniak told Reuters a Russian strike in late July marked the first recorded use of North Korean ballistic missiles against Ukrainian targets since August 2025.<\/p>\n

According to HUR estimates, Russia has received approximately 150 KN-23 and KN-24 missiles from North Korea since late 2023.<\/p>\n

Military analysts say Russia is increasingly relying on ballistic weapons because they require advanced defense systems \u2014 such as the U.S.-made Patriot \u2014 to intercept.<\/p>\n

The Washington-based Institute for the Study of War<\/a> (ISW) assessed that Russia is deliberately incorporating more ballistic missiles into its long-range strike packages to maximize pressure on Ukraine’s limited air defenses.<\/p>\n

ISW added that North Korea is gaining critical battlefield data from the conflict, allowing Pyongyang to refine its missile performance using Russian operational experience.<\/p>\n

North Korea has emerged as one of Moscow’s key military allies since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine began.<\/p>\n

Reuters reported that Pyongyang has supplied millions of artillery shells and previously sent 14,000 troops to Russia’s Kursk region to counter Ukraine’s 2024 cross-border incursion<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cherniak also noted that roughly 9,500 North Korean troops are still in Kursk, though they are not engaged in active combat right now.<\/p>\n

A report by the Foundation for Defense of Democracies<\/a> (FDD) states that, since Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, North Korea has supplied Moscow with large quantities of artillery and rocket ammunition, cannon and rocket artillery systems and ballistic missiles.<\/p>\n

The policy institute described the Russia-North Korea relationship as one of the “most consequential among the Axis” and the only partnership in which one member has deployed troops in combat to assist another.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
