North Korea may supply ruZZia with multiple launch rocket systems.

North Korea has developed a new 240-mm multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) with "guided" projectiles that can be transferred to ruZZia for use in the war against Ukraine as early as this year, writes the South Korean media outlet Yonhap News.

The final tests of the "technically updated" artillery system took place in the DPRK on May 10. They were personally observed by North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. A report by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) noted that the tests demonstrated the "destructive power" of the 240-millimeter MLRS.

At the same time, "guided" projectiles for it were tested a month earlier. Officially, they have a range of up to 40 km, but the South Korean Security Research Institute previously admitted that the range of the missile could be 60 km.

According to Yonhap News, North Korea plans to increase the production of new shells and multiple launch rocket launchers in order not only to target them at South Korea, but also to provide them to the ruZZian army.

The US authorities have repeatedly reported that North Korea is transferring weapons to ruZZia for the war in Ukraine. In return, Pyongyang asked for military equipment, as well as advanced military technologies, said John Kirby, coordinator for strategic communications at the US National Security Council. Naturally ruZZia and the DPRK denied these statements.

As we previously reported, UN experts confirmed at the end of April the use of ballistic missiles produced in North Korea against Ukraine. In particular, they found that on January 2 of this year, Kharkiv was hit by a missile of the Hwasong-11 series. The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) reported that since the end of last year, the Z-military has fired more than 20 North Korean weapons on the territory of the country. As a result of these attacks, at least 24 civilians were killed, more than a hundred were seriously injured, the SBU claimed.
