North Korean Missile Made With US and European Parts, Report Says

A North Korean missile used by Russia and recovered in Ukraine had several hundred parts that could be sourced from overseas manufacturers, showing that Pyongyang is finding ways to evade sanctions on components, a report said.

Conflict Armament Research said in its recent report that remnants of the ballistic missile it examined in the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv had more than 290 non-domestic electronic components. Some 75% of those were linked to companies incorporated in the US, 16% to firms from Europe and 9% to companies in Asia.
