North Korea has sent 7K containers of weapons to Russia in last 2 months: Seoul

Defense Intelligence Agency says 200 DPRK factories operating at max capacity to produce arms for export and stockpiles

North Korea has shipped an additional 7,000 containers of suspected weapons to Russia over the last two months, according to the latest South Korean estimate, bringing the total number of containers sent to support Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine to 20,000.

Pyongyang is also operating approximately 200 munitions factories at maximum capacity and has secured enough military supplies for a three-month war with South Korea  despite the increased exports, Seoul’s Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) said Wednesday.
