Wreckage found in Kyiv: Russia used a ballistic missile from the DPRK to fire – exclusive photos
It is difficult to determine whether it is a KN-23 or KN-24 missile, but Kyiv was also the target of Russian ballistic missile strikes from the DPRK.
During one of Russia’s recent missile attacks, at least one North Korean ballistic missile was fired at Kyiv. The wreckage was found by residents of the capital, who took pictures of it and sent them to Defense Express.
They show a rather large piece of fuselage. It has markings that are quite uncharacteristic of Russian missiles, and they tried to erase them.
Putting large serial numbers on missiles is typical only for the DPRK. And by putting long numbers, Pyongyang is most likely trying to create the illusion of a huge number of such missiles in its arsenal. At the same time, Russia does not put serial numbers on missiles in this way at all.
It is currently difficult to identify the wreckage and say whether it was a KN-23 or a KN-24. Because after it was shot down, the wreckage was likely to be scattered over a fairly large area. And, as in the case of the North Korean missile strike on Kharkiv, the identification of the wreckage is complicated by the banal lack of information, because until now, these missiles from the DPRK have not left the country, except when they fall into the sea.
