NKorea: Claims of arms supplies to Russia false

SEOUL: North Korea said on Tuesday that the United States government's claims of Pyongyang supplying artillery ammunition to Moscow for its war in Ukraine were groundless, state media reported.

The rebuke comes amid heightened tensions on the Korean peninsula after a spate of North Korean weapons tests last week, which reportedly included an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICB), as the US and South Korea conducted their biggest-ever air force exercises.
