Kang Sun Nam, minister of National Defence of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, released the following press statement on June 27:

The puppet Zelenskiy clique of Ukraine perpetrated a brutal atrocity again by mercilessly killing peaceful citizens of Russia on June 23.

According to media reports, the neo-Nazis of Ukraine attacked Sevastopol City of Russia with US-made ATACMS army tactical missiles equipped with cluster warheads, killing three people, including two children, and wounding 150 others.

Expressing deep sympathy and condolences to the victims, their families and the injured, I pray that the Russian people would eradicate the aftermath and restore their stable life as soon as possible.

And I vehemently denounce the recent case as a direct military attack on the Russian territory and an inexcusable hideous crime against humanity.

The gravity of the issue is that as claimed by Russian official figures, the missiles fired by the Zelenskiy clique at civilians were the US-made missiles and the input of their coordinates was carried out by US military experts.

Therefore, the true colours of the US as the one directly involved in the Ukrainian dispute and worst sponsor of terrorism have become crystal clear and it has been fully proved that the weapons supplied by the US to Ukraine have been used to massacre peaceful citizens of Russia.

Hideous crimes deserve severe punishment.

The US, which has become directly involved in the Ukrainian war, has nothing to say against any punishment by Russia and the retaliatory attack will be the most legitimate self-defence.

We will always be on the side of the Russian army and people all out in the war of justice for defending the national sovereign rights and security.
