Ukraine Invasion

CNN’s Nick Paton Walsh reports from a warehouse in Kyiv, where investigators are uncovering surprising components within North Korean missiles responsible for a recent deadly strike. The conflict in Ukraine, marked by a significant number of ballistic missile attacks by Russia, sees a notable involvement of North Korean-supplied missiles, particularly the KN-23 models. Ukrainian officials report an alarming frequency of these missile assaults, suggesting North Korean missiles have been used in about a third of the 194 attacks recorded this year.

These missiles, although considered rudimentary, display sophisticated technology on closer inspection. Stored in a Kyiv warehouse, investigators highlight the presence of U.S. and European components within these missiles, a finding made possible through the examination of fragments from Iranian drones and Russian missiles. Despite international sanctions intended to restrict technology from reaching certain nations, these components appear to have been smuggled, reportedly via China, to North Korea and beyond.

The discovery of American and European-made circuitry within these missiles raises significant concerns about the effectiveness of global sanctions and export controls. Ukrainian officials are urging Western companies to be held accountable, as further investigation continues into the global supply chains facilitating these components' transfer. As the war in Ukraine persists, questions about international compliance and enforcement loom large.



A look inside North Korean missiles after deadly strike

The scramble for the dead or the living, horrifically commonplace in Ukraine, yet this series of homes in Kiev turned to rubble by something other, not Russian, but a North Korean supplied ballistic missile and made able to fly here to cause this barbarism, killing a man and his four-year-old son by circuitry from the United States. Ukrainian officials told CNN ballistic missile attacks by Russia were rising fast, 194 so far this year, and about a third of them, at least 60, were using North Korean KN-23s. But these crude missiles, part of growing aid as North Korean troops also come to Russia, rely on a sophistication smuggled into the hermit kingdom. One on display by Ukrainian investigators at this Kiev warehouse of missile fragments. It is a house of horrors, drones that haunt the night skies, rockets that tear down lives. They pick through the dust to learn how the killing machines work, here rebuilding a Shahed Iranian drone's circuits. Fragments from a Kinjal missile, a Shahed Iranian drone and a Russian Orlan reconnaissance drone, all things Ukraine has been subjected to for many months, but key, these North Korean KN-23 missiles rely on, they say, on components from the United States and the Netherlands. This box containing dozens of small bits of circuitry made by household names in the USA and all Europe, subject to sanctions globally, but smuggled, often via China, to North Korea. When you open all this up and find American components, how do you feel? The journey the chips and circuits take to Russia may lead through North Korea, even China as a middle man, but ultimately they are US design and make. As the toll from these missiles deepens, Ukrainian officials say the Western firms need to be held accountable. From Thursday's Russian launch of a new weapon to their growing use of purloined North Korean missiles, the global reach of this war grows.
