North Korea Supplies Russia With 12 Million Shells, Seoul Says

North Korea has continued to supply millions of artillery shells and other munitions to Russia since the start of Moscow’s war in Ukraine, according to military data submitted to a South Korean lawmaker.

Pyongyang is believed to have shipped more than 28,000 containers loaded with artillery shells and other munitions to Russia, South Korea’s Defense Intelligence Agency said in response to an inquiry from lawmaker Kang Daeshik. The shipments are estimated to exceed about 12 million rounds when converted into 152-millimeter (6 inch) artillery shells, the DIA said.
