North Korean Missile That Struck Ukraine: Only One Korean Character Remained Inscribed After Attempts to Conceal the Origin...Wreckage of a supposedly North Korean KN-23/KN-24 missile found in Kharkiv after a russian missile attack.

Conflict Armament Research confirms russia used a ballistic missile, manufactured in DPRK, to attack the city of Kharkiv in Ukraine

International organization Conflict Armament Research has published a detailed report on the debris of the missile that targeted Kharkiv, a major city in northeast Ukraine, during the russian aerial attack on January 2nd, 2024. 

Analysis of missile wreckage indicates this weapon was made in North Korea; its provision to russia means violation of UN Security Council resolutions regarding military cooperation with DPRK.

A reminder, on January 4th, U.S. National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications, John Kirby, officially stated Russia had used ballistic missiles from North Korea against Ukraine. Kyiv, in turn, neither confirmed nor refuted the information, saying the investigation was ongoing.

The missile to be either KN-23 or KN-24 type. Note that those are the designations assigned by the West, while the original Korean name is unknown, although believed to be Hwasong-11A and Hwasong-11B. Report draws attention to the distinct jet vane actuators that adjust the flight trajectory of the missile midair.

On a note from Defense Express, this is quite a difficult technology because the actuators must work properly in extreme temperatures. Considering that all tests of KN-23 and KN-24 were successful from the get-go, it raises justified suspicions that Pyongyang had received ready-made technology from a third party.
