He said the United States believes North Korea was trying to obscure the transfer route by making it appear the weapons were being sent to countries in the Middle East or North Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/global\/asia-pacific\/2022\/11\/02\/north-korea-covertly-shipping-artillery-to-russia-says-white-house\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22251862451771.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">North Korea covertly sending artillery to Russia, White House says<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The White House did not provide evidence to support the new accusations or answer questions about how many weapons were involved.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe regard such moves of the U.S. as part of its hostile attempt to tarnish the image of [North Korea] in the international arena,\u201d an unidentified vice director at the ministry\u2019s military foreign affairs office said in a statement carried by state media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe once again make clear that we have never had \u2018arms dealings\u2019 with Russia and that we have no plan to do so in the future,\u201d the vice director said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In September, U.S. officials confirmed a newly downgraded U.S. intelligence finding that Russia was in the process of <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/russia-ukraine-north-korea-government-and-politics-495e976d1217d38c397a16e79cc305de\" target=\"_blank\">purchasing millions of rockets and artillery shells<\/a> from North Korea. North Korea later dismissed that report, calling on Washington to stop making \u201creckless remarks\u201d and to \u201ckeep its mouth shut.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Nov. 2, Kirby said the U.S. has \u201can idea\u201d of which country or countries the North may funnel the weapons through but wouldn\u2019t specify. He said the North Korean shipments are \u201cnot going to change the course of the war,\u201d citing Western efforts to resupply the Ukrainian military.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Slapped by international sanctions and export controls, Russia in August bought Iranian-made drones that <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/russia-ukraine-middle-east-iran-tehran-cd458999b26e7f60cbf64d2fb052a09a\" target=\"_blank\">U.S. officials said had technical problems<\/a>. For Russia, experts say North Korea is likely another good option for its ammunitions supply, because the North keeps a significant stockpile of shells, many of them copies of Soviet-era ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even as most of Europe and the West has pulled away, North Korea has pushed to boost relations with Russia, blaming the U.S. for the crisis and decrying the West\u2019s \u201chegemonic policy\u201d as justifying military action by Russia in Ukraine to protect itself. In July, North Korea became the only nation aside from Russia and Syria to <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/russia-ukraine-middle-east-syria-moscow-c5505e965d7d354b2b1f408385197829\" target=\"_blank\">recognize the Donetsk and Luhansk territories as independent<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The North Korean government has also hinted it is interested in sending construction workers to help rebuild pro-Russia breakaway regions in Ukraine\u2019s east.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">North Korea\u2019s possible arms supply to Russia would be a violation of U.N. resolutions that ban the North from trading weapons with other countries. But it\u2019s unlikely for North Korea to receive fresh sanctions for that because of a division at the U.N. Security Council over America\u2019s confrontations with Russia regarding its war in Ukraine and its separate strategic competitions with China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier this year, Russia and China already vetoed a U.S.-led attempt to toughen sanctions on North Korea over its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/flashpoints\/2022\/11\/07\/north-korea-says-missile-tests-were-practice-to-attack-south-us\/\" target=\"_blank\">series of ballistic missile tests<\/a> that are banned by multiple U.N. Security Council resolutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some observers say North Korea has also been using the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/flashpoints\/ukraine\/\" target=\"_blank\">Russian aggression in Ukraine<\/a> as a window to ramp up weapons testing activity and dial up pressure on the United States and South Korea. Last week, the North test-fired dozens of missiles in response to large-scale U.S.-South Korea aerial drills that Pyongyang views as a rehearsal for a potential invasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a separate statement published Tuesday by state media, a senior North Korean diplomat criticized U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres\u2019 recent condemnation of North Korea\u2019s missile launch barrage, calling him a \u201cmouthpiece\u201d of the U.S. government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe U.N. secretary general is echoing what the White House and the State Department say as if he were their mouthpiece, which is deplorable,\u201d said Kim Son Gyong, vice minister for international organizations at the North Korean Foreign Ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kim said that Guterres\u2019 \u201cunfair and prejudiced behavior\u201d has contributed to the worsening tensions in the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week, National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby accused North
