North Korea denies weapon supply to Russia

North Korea has refuted American allegations that it is secretly supplying Russia with weapons for its conflict in Ukraine, claiming that it has never done so and has no intention of doing so.

The White House National Security Spokesperson John Kirby stated last week that the US had information indicating North Korea was providing Russia with a “significant” number of artillery shells.

The claims were dismissed as “rumors” by a representative of the North Korean defense ministry, who added that Pyongyang had “never engaged in arms deals” with Russia and had “no plans to do so in the future.”
