WASHINGTON, 05 November 2022, (TON): A Washington think tank said “a train crossed from North Korea into Russia, two days after the US said it had information indicating Pyongyang is covertly supplying Russia with artillery shells for its war in Ukraine.”
The 38 North project, which monitors North Korean developments, said it was the first time such a train movement had been observed on the route in several years, although Russia’s veterinary service reported that a train had crossed the border into North Korea carrying horses.
38 North said “it is impossible to determine the purpose of the train from the imagery, but the crossing comes amid reports of arms sales from North Korea to Russia and a general expectation of the resumption of trade between the two countries.”
It said “North Korea closed the 800-meter Tumangang Friendship Bridge, the only land link between the countries, in February 2020 during the pandemic.”
