North Korea denies arms delivery to Wagner

In a statement published by state news agency KCNA, a senior spokesman said North Korea denied the allegations and warned that the United States 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.
