The Russian Federation has violated sanctions against the DPRK and attacked Kharkiv with a North Korean missile - the UN

The UN Security Council of North Korea stated that information on the trajectory provided by the Ukrainian authorities indicates that the launch took place within the territory of the Russian Federation. The wreckage from the rocket, which fell in Kharkiv on January 2, belonged to the North Korean Ballistic Rocket of the Hwasong-11 series. This is stated in the report of UN observers, Reuters reports.

North Korea has been under the sanctions of the UN for its ballistic missiles and a nuclear program since 2006. These measures have been strengthened over the years. Three observers have arrived in Ukraine early this month to explore the debris. They did not find evidence that the rocket was made at Russian enterprises. Experts "could not determine on their own where the rocket was running and whom.

" "Information on the trajectory provided by the Ukrainian authorities indicates that the launch took place within the territory of the Russian Federation," they wrote in the report of April 25 of the UN Security Council of North Korea. The missions of the Russian Federation and the DPRK at the UN in New York were not answered at the request of commenting on the observers' report. Earlier, Moscow and Pyongyang were denied the accusations, but last year they promised to deepen military cooperation.

At a meeting of the United Nations Security Council in February, the United States accused Russia of at least nine launches of ballistic missiles against Ukraine provided by the DPRK. UN observers said the Hwasong-11 ballistic missiles were first publicly tested by Pyongyang in 2019.

Last month, Russia vetoed the annual renewal of UN observers by sanctions known as a group of experts who have been observing the UN sanctions over 15 years on North Korea through its nuclear program and ballistic missile program. A few days after the attack on January 2, the Prosecutor's Office of Kharkiv region demonstrated the media fragments of the rocket, saying that it is different from Russian samples. The department stated that "it could be a rocket set by North Korea.
