North Korea has not reduced, but increased, supplies of ammunition after the US and South Korean intelligence services reported that the DPRK had begun supplying weapons to Russia. This is evidenced by satellite images that record the circulation of containers between the Korean port of Rajin and the village of Dunay, Primorsky Krai, Bloomberg reports, UNN reports.

Details

Earlier, the White House reported that between August to October, the DPRK sent approximately 1 million shells to Russia by ship. In addition, on November 1, the National Intelligence Service of South Korea informed parliamentarians that ten flights had delivered more than more than 1 million shells.

In about a month and a half, I don't see that the pace of supply slowing down, so given what we know, it's another half a million more shells

military expert Just Olimans told Bloomberg.

Addendum

The DPRK has one of the largest stockpiles of of ammunition in the world; it is designed for Soviet-style weapons that are actively used by the Russian armed forces, primarily 152-mm shells.

Ship traffic between Rajin and the village of Dunay seems to have even increased since October, according to an analysis of satellite images by the Vienna-based organization Open Nuclear Network. According to its analyst Javo Schin, "round-trip flights continue with no less intensity, despite additional US sanctions and active coverage of this the topic in the last few months".
