Russia's use of North Korean ballistic missiles not a sign of Moscow's depleted domestic capacity

Russia’s missile campaign against Ukraine’s cities and infrastructure is no longer limited by the rate of domestic production as North Korea becomes its top weapons supplier.

#Pyongyang has allegedly sent Moscow more than 1 million artillery rounds and the mass strikes on Dec. 30 and Jan. 2 provided the first direct evidence that Russia used North Korean missiles to attack a Ukrainian city, specifically Kharkiv.

Experts say this will allow Russia to intensify its attacks on #civilian targets, killing people, doing costly damage, and putting a strain on Ukraine’s air defenses.

The two heavily sanctioned autocracies have grown progressively closer since the start of Russia’s 2022 full-scale invasion.

#Japon : les #enfants disparus de #Niigata • #kidnapping • FRANCE 24

16min31 France24 : https://yewtu.be/watch?v=zWvZOU0uLuw

Dans les années 1970-80, la #Corée du Nord a mené une campagne de #kidnappings dans les pays "ennemis". Et le Japon, l'un des voisins proches, a été une cible de choix. Ce programme d'enlèvements, décidé au plus haut niveau de l' #État communiste, était probablement destiné à former des #espions nord-coréens. Il a fallu attendre 2002 pour que la #dictature de #Pyongyang reconnaisse officiellement quelques kidnappings. Louis Belin, Philippe Chambret, Constantin Simon et Aruna Popuri se sont rendus à Niigata, où une jeune fille a été enlevée en 1977.

Si la #CoréeduNord a fini par reconnaître 13 #enlèvements et a renvoyé certains de ces #Japonais dans leur pays d'origine, les autorités nippones ont recensé de leur côté les preuves de 17 kidnappings. Mais en réalité, ils pourraient être beaucoup plus nombreux, peut-être des centaines.
