Russia has hit Ukraine with missiles supplied by North Korea for the first time during its full-scale invasion, a senior Kyiv official said on January 5, a day after the United States said Moscow had used missiles obtained from the isolated communist state in Russia's conflict with its western neighbor. "There is no longer any disguise...the Russian Federation for the first time struck at the territory of Ukraine with missiles received from...North Korea," Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhaylo Podolyak said on X, formerly Twitter. He did not provide evidence for the missiles being North Korean. In its statement on January 4, the White House cited declassified intelligence.
