North Korean Missile Kills Eight in Kyiv Strike

A major Russian aerial attack on Kyiv resulted in the deaths of at least eight people when a North Korean KN-23 ballistic missile struck a residential building in the Sviatoshynskyi district, according to Ukrainian military sources. Approximately 10 people remain missing, potentially trapped under debris from the strike. The attack has heightened concerns internationally, as it highlights Russia's reported use of North Korean weaponry, which would violate U.N. embargoes. These developments have intensified worries about deepening military cooperation between Pyongyang and Moscow, raising alarms in Europe and South Korea over potential future aggression. Russian officials have not specifically commented on the use of North Korean missiles, instead reiterating that their strikes target 'military and military-adjacent' sites. The incident underscores escalating tensions and the growing complexity of the conflict in Ukraine.
