According to official information, a residential building in the south-eastern city of Kryvyi Rih was hit during Russian attacks on Ukraine. “There are dead and wounded,” wrote the military governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region, Serhiy Lyssak, on Telegram on Tuesday morning. The head of the local military administration, Olexander Wilkul, had previously reported an impact on a five-story building and wrote that there were people under the rubble.

Air alert was also declared in several other regions of Ukraine. The Russians had fired cruise missiles once more, including at the capital Kiev, the authorities there said. There, however, their own air defense shot down all enemy flying objects. There were reports of drone strikes from the eastern city of Kharkiv.

The US, meanwhile, has expressed concern over possible arms sales from North Korea to Russia. Despite statements to the contrary by the government in Pyongyang, North Korea delivered a shipment of weapons including infantry missiles and missiles to the Wagner mercenary force in November 2022, according to a US State Department spokesman. “We are concerned that the DPRK is planning to supply more military equipment to Russia.” Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) is the official name of North Korea.

In March, the United States said Russia was trying to get additional weapons from North Korea in exchange for food aid. They imposed sanctions on a person who allegedly tried to broker North Korean weapons to Russia. North Korea seeks closer ties with Kremlin and defends Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
