Zelensky: Russia may have used North Korean missiles in strike on key Ukrainian energy site

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia may have used North Korean KN-23 ballistic missiles in a nighttime attack on a key Ukrainian energy facility, with only four of 36 missiles intercepted. The attack on November 7 targeted infrastructure connecting Kyiv and central regions to nuclear power plants, with all 36 missiles aimed at the capital and its region. Zelensky cited preliminary expert findings and called for stronger global sanctions against those enabling such strikes. Zelensky also highlighted a significant shortage of Patriot interceptor missiles, urging US assistance, and said Russia is escalating attacks ahead of diplomatic talks. He ordered reserve transport plans for Kyiv and announced upcoming G7 meetings and European aid packages.
