Russia launches attacks across Ukraine overnight, killing at least nine people and wounding dozens, according to Ukrainian and other local authorities. Kyiv says the strikes include the use of ballistic missiles supplied by North Korea, which Ukraine says Moscow has recently received.
Ukraine states that Russian forces fire North Korean missiles during the raid, raising concerns about the expanded transfer of weapons from North Korea to Russia. RTE and France 24 both report the same casualty figures and link the attack to Ukraine’s warning about additional ballistic missiles arriving from North Korea. Both outlets also describe the broader impact of the overnight attacks, including injuries across affected areas.
The outlets differ mainly in emphasis: France 24 foregrounds Ukraine’s allegation of North Korean missiles in the specific raid, while RTE highlights the overall overnight death toll and the context of Ukraine’s earlier warning about new ballistic missile deliveries. Neither source provides additional independent verification in the material provided.
