North Korea’s Leader perceives missile attacks within Russian territory as indicative of Western engagement in the ongoing conflict

North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un, has asserted that the United States and Western nations, through the actions of the Ukrainian government, have engaged in direct military intervention against Russia by utilizing long-range weapons to target Russian territory, according to a statement by TASS news agency.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has characterized the recent Russian military strike on Ukraine as a timely and effective warning to the United States, Western nations, and Ukraine. According to a report by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), Kim asserted that the action serves to underscore the gravity of the situation and demonstrates Russia’s resolve to take severe countermeasures against what he termed unwise military actions by those parties.

North Korean leader has asserted that it is imperative to demonstrate to the “US-led provocative forces” that disregarding Russia’s warnings will yield no beneficial outcomes.

On November 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that the United States and its NATO allies had confirmed the approval for the deployment of longer-range weaponry. In the aftermath of this declaration, missiles from the United States and the United Kingdom reportedly struck targets in Russia’s Kursk and Bryansk regions, as per the president’s remarks.

In a recent escalation of tensions, Russia has launched its latest Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missile, equipped with a conventional warhead, targeting the Yuzhmash Ukrainian defense industry plant in Dnipro, according to statements made by President Vladimir Putin. The Russian head of state issued a stark warning to Western nations, suggesting that their provocative policies may lead to severe repercussions if they further intensify the ongoing conflict.
