Between September 2023 and December 2024 North Korea gave Russia over 100 ballistic missiles and as much as nine million rounds of ammunition to support various weapons systems, including artillery shells and rockets, for use in Moscow’s war against Ukraine, an 11-member international watchdog monitoring sanctions against Pyongyang said Thursday. The missiles and military support, which included deployment of 14,000 soldiers and three heavy artillery units, helped Moscow “terrorise” Ukraine and “destroy civilian infrastructure and populated areas like Kyiv and Zaporizhzhia”, the Multilateral Sanctions Monitoring Team said. In return, the MSMT report said, Moscow may have supplied Pyongyang with advanced electronic warfare systems and at least one Pantsir, which is a mobile air defence system designed to target aircraft, cruise missiles, precision munitions, and UAVs, or unmanned aerial vehicles. Arms transfers both ways were conducted under the cover of Russian cargo ships. Moscow also supported Pyongyang’s missile development programme by sharing data from ballistic missiles used to destroy civilian targets in Kyiv and other cities, the report said.
