Ukraine sees improved accuracy of N. Korean missile used by Russia

KYIV - Ukraine believes the accuracy of North Korean short-range ballistic missiles used by Russia in the war in Ukraine has improved significantly, defense authorities said Saturday.

The margin of error in the missiles' landing point, which was at least 1 kilometer in 2024, had "narrowed to between 1 and 5 meters" by April this year, a Ukrainian defense intelligence official said, suggesting Russia had upgraded the weapons based on data gathered from their use in combat.
