Nordkorea och Ryssland har fördjupat sitt militära samarbete under det pågående kriget i Ukraina.
I slutet av september kom ukrainska uppgifter om att Nordkorea förbereder att skicka en ny våg soldater till Ryssland. Enligt Ukrainas president Volodymyr Zelensky ska det handla om ytterligare 10 000 soldater. Samtidigt fortsätter landet att förse Ryssland med stora mängder ammunition och ballistiska robotar.

Tidigare i veckan genomförde Nordkorea en testuppskjutning av en ballistisk robot som regimen påstår var utrustad med AI-teknik och som beskrivs som en ”stor framgång”.
