North Korea has once again denied providing Russia with weapons after the United States released evidence that Pyongyang supplied missiles and shells to the Russian private military company Wagner.

The day before, the White House provided US intelligence photos showing Russian railroad cars entering North Korea, picking up a shipment of infantry rockets and missiles, and returning to Russia.

According to the Director General of the US Affairs Department, Kwon Jong Gun, Washington will face a "really undesirable outcome" if it continues to spread "self-made rumours."

“Trying to tarnish the image of (North Korea) by fabricating a non-existent thing is a grave provocation that can never be allowed and that cannot but trigger its reaction,” said Kwon Jong Gun, director general of the Department of US Affairs.

In addition, Kwon Jong Gun Kun called it “a foolish attempt to justify its offer of weapons to Ukraine.”

According to John Kirby, the White House National Security Council's Strategic Communications Coordinator, the United States has provided the UN with evidence that North Korea is helping Russia with weapons in violation of UN Security Council resolutions.
