#Kn 23

Zelenskyy stated that air defense destroyed only 4 of 36 ballistic missiles used by Russia on the night of November 7 due to a shortage of Patriot interceptors. Preliminary conclusions indicate North Korean KN-23 missiles were used to strike energy infrastructure.

On 20 September, North Korea launched two short-range ballistic missiles from Wonsan on abnormally high trajectories. Janes links the launches to a new KN-23 variant that is being used to shell Ukrainian cities.

At night, Russia struck Ukraine with Iskander-M/KN-23 ballistic missiles and over 160 drones from several directions. By 08:30, air defense had shot down 128 UAVs; the attack was still ongoing in the morning, and data on the aftermath is being clarified.

🚀 Russia changes tactics: instead of mass salvos — single launches of KN-23 missiles from North Korea. 📉 ISW: Moscow is testing accuracy and refining weapons with Pyongyang. 📅 Chronology: strikes on Zaporizhzhia (August 11) and Dnipropetrovsk region (July 30). ⚠️ Zelenskyy: cooperation between RF and DPRK is growing, North Korea is gaining combat experience. 💥 Results of August 11 attack: 6 dead, 19 injured. RF saves "Zircon"s and S-400s.

🇺🇦 A second crater from a North Korean KN-23 missile found near Radushne — Russia used two such missiles on July 30. 🚀 Vladislav Vlasuk: this proves Russia's dependence on Pyongyang. 💔 Parents and three children died in Radushne — a day of mourning declared in Kryvyi Rih. #Ukraine #DPRK #Radushne

On the night of July 30 in Radushne near Kryvyi Rih, a missile strike claimed the lives of a large family: parents and seven children died. Experts link the attack to the appearance of new North Korean KN-23 missiles with Russia. 🇺🇦💔🚀

Yuriy Ignat, Head of the Communications Department of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, confirmed Russia's use of North Korean KN-23 missiles against Ukraine. 🚀 The enemy is using a mixed tactic due to a lack of supplies, exploiting the shortage of interception means in the air defense. On the night of July 30, 9 ballistic missiles were fired, one of which fell in Poland. 🇺🇦🇵🇱
