North Korea on Sunday rejected the US claim that Pyongyang supplied robots and missiles to the private Russian mercenary group Wagner group fighting in Ukraine.
In a statement published by state news agency KCNA, a senior spokesman said North Korea denied the allegations and warned that the US would face a “very unpleasant outcome” if the country continued to spread “self-produced rumours”.
Earlier this year, the United States announced that it now designates the Russian Wagner group as a “transnational criminal organization.” The White House has also released intelligence footage from November that it says shows North Korea supplying weapons to Wagner for the group’s efforts in Ukraine.
