[HIGHLIGHTS] Ukraine War: North Korean missiles used by Russia in Ukraine apparently have Western components

Analysis of debris from a North Korean-made ballistic missile that fell in the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv. The rocket contained 290 electronic parts that did not come from the East Asian country.

Many of them could therefore be assigned to companies headquartered in the USA, but also in Germany and other countries. A large proportion of the components also had a date and were produced in the past three years, it said. This could mean that the weapon only reached Russia after the Russian attack on Ukraine began in February 2022.
