Russian ships with military links have repeatedly visited a North Korean port in recent months, with the cargo apparently destined for a munitions base on the Ukrainian border.
Russian commercial ships have been seen bringing cargo back and forth between North Korea and Russia since late August. TOKYO — Russian ships linked to military transport networks have collected cargo from North Korea and delivered it to an apparent Russian military port on multiple occasions over the past two months, according to new satellite images providing the clearest evidence yet that Pyongyang may be helping Moscow’s war effort.
Not one but two ships have been plying the route between the northeastern North Korean port of Rajin and a secure port facility in Dunai, in Russia’s Far East, making at least five round trips beginning mid-August through Saturday, according to the RUSI analysis. U.S. officials and experts have said North Korea has Soviet-designed munitions and other conventional weapons, including artillery platforms and rocket launchers, that the Russians are seeking.the Angara and the Maria, began traveling between Rajin and Dunai in mid-August.They have made at least five trips since, moving hundreds of containers, according to the images.
U.S. officials alleged last Friday that these munition boxes had originated from North Korea, and the characteristics of the ships appear to support U.S. allegations that North Korea has delivered weapons to Russia for the war using this route. Analysis by RUSI found that the operation may have started at the end of August and appears to have involved a second vessel, Maria, which followed a similar path as the Angara, the ship identified by U.S. officials.The images show the two vessels making multiple trips between Dunai and Rajin, picking up and delivering cargo at each location. At the Rajin port, the two ships typically load and unload containers at different docks.
