Second North Korean missile struck near Radushne
During Russia's attack on Ukraine on July 30, Moscow launched two North Korean-made missiles. The first missile struck a private house in Radushne near Kryvyi Rih, killing six people, including three children. Five other minors are still listed as missing. The second KN-23 exploded in a field.
"There are 3.5 kilometers between these two impact sites. There are no potential military targets within a 5-kilometer radius. That's the level of accuracy," Vlasiuk said.

Russia depends on North Korean weapons
According to Vlasiuk, the KN-23 is virtually identical to Russia's Iskander ballistic missile and contains many of the same components, including Western-made parts.
He said this demonstrates Russia's dependence on North Korean military assistance.
"North Korean missiles kill Ukrainian civilians just as Russian missiles do. Everyone enabling the military partnership between Moscow and Pyongyang, as well as the supply of critical components for the defense industry, must be held accountable," Vlasiuk said.
Attack on Radushne
Earlier, RBC-Ukraine reported that Russian forces struck the village of Radushne near Kryvyi Rih with a North Korean ballistic missile during the night of July 30.
The missile destroyed the home of a large family. The deaths of the parents and their three children have been confirmed, while several other family members remain missing.
July 31 was declared a day of mourning in Kryvyi Rih for the victims of the Russian missile strike on Radushne.
