North Korea denies supplying weapons to Russia, weeks after US claimed Pyongyang was trying to replenish Moscow's stocks depleted in conflict with Ukraine
"We have never exported weapons or ammunition to Russia before and we will not plan to export them," Pyongyang says, warning the US against spreading"rumour of arms dealings."
North Korea has denied it was providing arms to Russia, state media said, weeks after the United States said Moscow was turning to Pyongyang to replenish its stocks depleted by the conflict in Ukraine. The statement comes after the White House said earlier in September that Russia was buying artillery shells and rockets from North Korea to support its offensive in Ukraine.
However, citing declassified US intelligence, he stressed at the time that the purchases were not yet completed and that there was no indication the weapons were being used in Ukraine.'Rumour of arms dealings'
