The influential sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has again denied that her country has exported any weapons to Russia, labelling outside speculation on the countries’ arms dealings as “the most absurd paradox”.

The US, South Korea and others have accused North Korea of supplying artillery, missiles and other conventional weapons to Russia for its war in Ukraine in return for advanced military technologies and economic aid. Both North Korea and Russia have repeatedly dismissed that.
