United Nations experts told Reuters that a North Korean missile landed in Kharkiv, Ukraine.
Reuters reported on Wednesday that UN sanctions monitors stated in a report to a UN Security Council committee that remnants of a missile that landed in Kharkiv on January 2 indicate it was a North Korean Hwasong-11 ballistic missile.
Reuters says it saw the document on Tuesday and cites the mentioned report stating that North Korea has violated international sanctions in this manner.
North Korea has been under UN sanctions on missiles and nuclear activities since 2006.
Three UN sanctions monitors traveled to Ukraine earlier this month to inspect debris and found no evidence indicating the origin of the missile launch or who launched it. They could not independently determine where the missile was launched from, but based on Ukraine’s trajectory data, they stated that the missile was launched from points inside Russian territory.
