Kim Jong Un’s Sister Refutes North Korea Exports Weapons To Russia

On Friday, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s sister, Kim Yo Jong denied that Pyongyang is shipping weapons to Russia, calling the assertion absurd.

South Korea and the United States have regularly accused North Korea of transferring weapons to Russia, despite a raft of UN sanctions on both countries that would prohibit any such transfers.

Analysts have also cautioned that North Korea’s ramped-up testing and production of artillery and cruise missiles by the nuclear-armed North could be in preparation for sales to Russia for use in Ukraine.

However, Kim Yo Jong stated, “Pyongyang had no intention to export our military technical capabilities to any country”.

Kim Jong Un’s sister further accused Seoul and Washington of misleading public opinion with a false rumor that the weapon systems produced by … (us) are for export to Russia.

“What is most urgent for us is not to advertise or export something, but to make the war readiness and war deterrent of our army more perfect in quality and quantity”, Kim Yo Jong continued.

North Korea has recently strengthened military ties with Moscow, and Pyongyang thanked Russia last month for using its UN Security Council veto to block the renewal of a panel of experts that oversaw international sanctions against Kim’s regime.

On Tuesday, leader Kim Jong Un inspected a new tactical missile weapons system and urged an epochal change in war preparations by achieving arsenal production targets.

“Tactical weapons including multiple rocket launchers and missiles shown by us recently are produced to discharge the only one mission,” Kim Yo Jong’s Friday statement said.

“We don’t conceal the fact that such weapons will be used to prevent Seoul from inventing any idle thinking.”

Inter-Korean relations are at an all-time low, with Pyongyang naming South Korea its principal enemy.

It has disbanded reunification agencies and threatened war over even 0.001 mm of territorial infringement.
