I read KCNA pretty frequently. It's the main state-owned news agency of DPRK. They've had many articles about their involvement in the Ukraine war. Most of the articles have been about a museum that DPRK built to remember the deployment of the DPRK soldiers to the Kursk region of Russia.

In the articles that I've seen published by KCNA, DPRK has said that they only deployed troops to Russian territory, specifically the Kursk region. DPRK said that they would not deploy troops into Ukraine, basically because DPRK doesn't want to get involved in the war.

The article in the OP is a Ukrainian website. There is a Ukraine government agency called "United24". I'm not sure if the "united24media" is government owned as well or if they just used the same name. Either way, it is Ukraine that is making the allegations about "North Korean Missile Unit". The article says "a Ukrainian military intelligence official told Reuters on August 5".

I view the DPRK troop deployment to Kursk as part of the trade agreement that was formed between Russia and DPRK, which was signed in the summer of 2024. Russia helped DPRK get access to a bunch of new technologies. The feeling that I got from the reporting from DPRK is that they did not want to get involved in the war.

With Ukraine making the allegations about DPRK missiles, it seems like fearmongering. I won't believe it unless it is reported by DPRK, or maybe Russia, or if there is photographic evidence. I would not be surprised if DPRK sold weapons to Russia, but I don't think DPRK wants to attack Ukraine.

The past 2 days, DPRK has released 2 government statements about aggression from Japan and another statement about accusations of cybercrime.
