Train crosses from North Korea into Russia, a US think-tank says, two days after Washington alleged Pyongyang is covertly supplying arms to Russia for Ukraine conflict
A train has crossed from North Korea into Russia, two days after the United States said it had information indicating Pyongyang is covertly supplying Russia with artillery shells for its conflict in Ukraine, a Washington-based think-tank has said, citing commercial satellite imagery.
"It is impossible to determine the purpose of the train from the imagery, but the crossing comes amid reports of arms sales from North Korea to Russia and a general expectation of the resumption of trade between the two countries," 38 North said. The report said that at 10:24 am local time a three-car set of enclosed railcars was visible on the Korean side of the border, and by 1:10 pm local time it appeared to be in Russia behind a locomotive, about 200 metres from the end of the railway bridge.
