North Korean missile that killed a family in Dnipropetrovsk region deviated from the target by 15 km, — DIU

A North Korean-made ballistic missile that struck the Voronovy family home in Radushne, Dnipropetrovsk region, deviated from its target by about 15 kilometers.

This was stated by the Chief of the DefenceIntelligence Vadym Skibitskyi.

"One of the recent strikes, when a North Korean missile actually killed an entire family, confirmed that it deviated by about 15 kilometers from the target," Skibitskyi said.

According to him, the DPRK has already transferred around 100 such missiles to Russia, including 40 units received by the Russian Federation recently.

"In exchange, the DPRK receives its own benefits, which were recorded during the delivery of the first batch of KN-23 — about 100 such missiles. North Korea gains the opportunity to test its weapons in real combat conditions and, as a result, obtains data for further modernization and improvement of these missiles," the Deputy Chief of the DIU said.

In the night of July 30, Russian forces struck the village of Radushne near Kryvyi Rih with a ballistic missile. As a result of a direct hit on a private house where a large family lived, six people were killed, including three children.

It is known that 47-year-old Artem and 41-year-old Olena were raising ten children. Seven children were in the house with them: 17-year-old Mark, who was studying to become a railway worker in Kryvyi Rih; schoolchildren Dominika, 15; Viorika, 14; Zakharii, 12; Azarii Ilai, 11; Federika, 10; and 6-year-old Emilia. Also in the house was their one-and-a-half-year-old grandson Artem from their eldest son, who is currently serving in the military.

As of now, it is confirmed that the parents and three children — Mark, Azarii Ilai, and Emilia — were killed. The fate of the other children remains unknown.
