Russia has begun deploying a North Korean missile unit equipped with up to 120 ballistic missiles and six launchers for use in its war against Ukraine, according to a Ukrainian intelligence official. The deployment is seen as part of Russia's efforts to strengthen its military presence in the region and deepen its alliance with Pyongyang. This move is likely to further escalate tensions between Russia and the West, particularly given Moscow's pre-existing relations with North Korea. The deployment may also lead to increased concerns about the potential use of nuclear weapons in the conflict.
