Ship linked to Moscow-Pyongyang arms trade appears on Russian TV at DPRK port

Footage shows Angara berthed at pier at Rason port as Ukraine says DPRK is sending workers and soldiers to Russia

Local channel Vesti Primorye aired footage of a vessel closely matching the Russian Angara docked at the North Korean port of Rason — a hub for arms trade between Moscow and Pyongyang — in a news segment Tuesday.
