North Korea plans to increase the production of attack drones. The Russians will help the DPRK in this.

This was reported by 24 Channel with reference to the head of the Central Pedagogical Department of the National Security and Defense Council Andriy Kovalenko.

“Shaheeds” in North Korea

Not long ago, I warned our partners about the future the DPRK's build-up of attack UAV production. Russia will help with this. In particular, it is also planned to build a plant for the production of “Shaheds” in the DPRK, he writes.

Kovalenko notes that this is a direct threat to South Korea. He notes that a strong reaction is needed to prevent this from happening.

After the transfer of DPRK troops to Russia, it was reported that South Korea was considering the possibility of sending observers to Ukraine. The Minister of Foreign Affairs also said that “all possible scenarios are being considered.” There have been optimistic predictions that Seoul might lift the ban on arms sales to Ukraine.

However, Bloomberg writes that South Korea may reconsider this decision because of Trump. According to one official, Seoul is now unlikely to supply ammunition to Ukraine unless Pyongyang takes further action or there is more clarity on how Trump will act regarding Ukraine.
