North Korean cannons designed to flatten Seoul head to front line in Ukraine

North Korean cannons designed to flatten Seoul head to front line in Ukraine

Yahoo28-01-2025

North Korea is preparing to send Russia more than 100 artillery systems – originally designed to flatten Seoul – to be used in its war against Ukraine.
The 170mm M1989 Koksan howitzers, among the longest-range artillery systems in the world, are known as 'juche cannons', and were built to pound the South Korean capital in the event of a conflict.
Kyrylo Budano, Ukraine's military intelligence chief, said that Pyongyang was gearing up to double the number of artillery systems it has sent to the border region of Kursk.
The fresh deliveries come amid reports that North Korean soldiers have been withdrawn from sections of the front line to rebuild and regroup, while more troops are expected to be deployed soon.
Lt Gen Budanov said that over the past three months, Kim Jong-un had already given Moscow at least 120 North Korean-made M1989 Koksans, as well as another 120 of its M1991 multiple-launch rocket systems.
Speaking to defence outlet The Warzone, he said Pyongyang was preparing to send another tranche of at least the same amount, with open source analysts suggesting some were already on route.
The M1989 Koksan is a 40-ton self-propelled gun that first appeared during a military parade in 1989. The term 'juche' is used in North Korean propaganda to describe its state ideology of freedom and self-reliance.
Using standard shells, the cannons can strike targets over 25 miles away. Gen Budanov said North Korean troops were training their Russian counterparts to use them and they had begun firing them in combat.
In late December, footage showed a train transporting a convoy of at least 10 M1989 Koksans to Russia, their 25ft-long barrels on full display, with little to no camouflage hiding them from enemy strikes.
By Jan 7, they appeared to have arrived as footage emerged of them on the battlefield in Kursk. In the video, a North Korean soldier called the artillery system a 'gift' from Kim to his soldiers abroad.

Pyongyang has deep reserves of artillery systems and ammunition that have been stockpiled largely to threaten and prepare for a conflict with its rival, South Korea.
North Korea deployed 11,000 soldiers to its ally Russia in late October to help Moscow expel Kyiv's troops from the Kursk border region after Ukraine's surprise incursion in August.
South Korea joint chiefs of staff said on Friday that the North was preparing for an additional dispatch of troops to Russia. US officials, speaking to The New York Times, said the fresh reinforcements could arrive within two months.
Neither Moscow nor Pyongyang – which signed a 'mutual military assistance' deal last June – have confirmed Kim Jong-un's participation in the war, despite two North Korean prisoners of war being captured by Kyiv.
On Monday, Ukrainian reports emerged that North Korean soldiers appear to have temporarily withdrawn from one of the axes of the front in Kursk.
A Special Operations Forces (SOF) spokesman confirmed to the Kyiv Independent that Pyongyang's troops had retreated from some of their positions and are probably regrouping after suffering significant losses.
The statement came after a Ukrainian commander told Sky News that North Korean troops had, for now, withdrawn from the front line in the Russian border region.
The commander, who goes by his call sign 'Puls', said they were probably trying to learn lessons from their mistakes, tending to their wounded or waiting for reinforcements.
'I think they'll be back soon' he said, while also noting the high motivation among the foreign soldiers despite heavy losses.
Puls also described how North Korean soldiers were an easy target as they appeared to be unaware of the threats from drones and modern artillery and had been attacked on foot in large groups 'like in World War II'.
His claims echo those of Ukrainian commanders and analysts who say the troops have not been trained in modern warfare and are being used by their Russian allies as cannon fodder in 'human wave' attacks.
About 1,000 North Korean soldiers have been killed and 3,000 wounded while fighting in Russia's war against Ukraine, the BBC reported last week, citing unnamed Western officials.

Israeli forces take control of Gaza aid boat carrying Greta Thunberg

Israel's military took control of a boat trying to deliver food to Palestinians in Gaza in the early hours of Monday morning, and brought its crew of activists including Greta Thunberg to an Israeli port. The Madleen was making a symbolic attempt to break to the blockade of Gaza and raise awareness of a looming 'starvation crisis'. It was never likely to get through Israel's naval blockade of the territory, where UN-backed experts have warned of looming famine, and dozens of people have been killed by Israeli forces trying to reach food distribution centres. Even attempting to reach Gaza by boat is risky. In May, another boat sailing as part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, the group that organised the Madleen's voyage, caught fire off Malta and issued an SOS after what the group said was an attack by Israeli drones. Israel's military declined to comment. In 2010, nine activists were killed when Israeli commandos raided a small fleet of ships trying to take supplies including building materials to Gaza. Israel began blockading Gaza in 2007. Among the last communications from the Madleen before it lost communications was a photo showing the 12-strong crew gathered in a circle, wearing lifejackets, with their hands in the air. It was posted to social media by a team working with the French MEP Rima Hassan, who was also onboard. A series of pre-recorded messages from crew members were released online. 'If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters,' Thunberg said in a brief message, urging family, friends and supporters to put pressure on the Swedish government to secure her release as soon as possible. Shortly afterwards, Israel's foreign ministry said the crew was being taken to Israel and 'were expected to return to their home countries', and followed up by posting an image of Thunberg being offered a sandwich. Israel has no legal authority to detain the Madleen crew in international waters and confiscate aid onboard, which included food, baby formula and medical supplies, said Huwaida Arraf, a human rights attorney and Freedom Flotilla organiser. 'This seizure blatantly violates international law and defies the ICJ's binding orders requiring unimpeded humanitarian access to Gaza. These volunteers are not subject to Israeli jurisdiction and cannot be criminalised for delivering aid or challenging an illegal blockade – their detention is arbitrary, unlawful, and must end immediately.' The UK-flagged Madleen set sail at a time of mounting international pressure on Israel over the starvation of Palestinians inside Gaza. In an apparent response to the huge amount of publicity generated by the group, Israel's foreign ministry attacked the crew as 'celebrities' on a 'selfie yacht'. Israel's foreign minister, Israel Katz, made personal attacks on Thunberg and the rest of the crew in a post on X, and said they would be required to watch a film about the Hamas attacks on 7 October 2023, which launched the war. About 1,200 people were killed, mostly civilians, and 250 taken to Gaza, where 55 are still held hostage. Israel's attacks on Gaza since then have killed more than 54,000 Palestinians, the majority of them women, children and elderly people, and injured more than 125,000, according to health authorities in the territory, whose figures have proved accurate in past conflicts. Most of Gaza's 2.3 million residents have been forced to flee their homes and displaced multiple times, and last month food security experts warned the territory was at 'critical risk of famine'. The UN's special rapporteur on human rights in occupied Palestinian territories called for the UK to secure the release of the Madleen and its crew and urged others to challenge the blockade. 'Every Mediterranean port should send boats with aid, solidarity, and humanity to Gaza,' Francesca Albanese posted on X. 'Breaking the siege is a legal duty for states, and a moral imperative for all of us.' On Sunday, at least a dozen Palestinians were killed trying to get food, hit by Israeli gunfire as they headed towards two food distribution centres run by a US and Israeli backed logistics group. Israel said it fired warning shots at people who approached its forces.

Russia bombards Kyiv after Putin vows revenge for Operation Spiderweb

Russia launched an intense missile and drone barrage at Kyiv overnight after Vladimir Putin vowed to respond to Ukraine's Operation Spiderweb attack on some of the Kremlin's nuclear-capable bombers. Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia had launched more than 400 drones and more than 40 missiles at Ukraine, as he urged allies to build pressure on the Kremlin to end its war. Four people were killed, including three emergency workers in Kyiv. The Ukrainian president wrote in a social media post: 'If someone does not put pressure and gives the war more time to take lives, they are complicit and responsible. We need to act decisively.' Missiles and drones hammered the Ukrainian capital leading fires to rage through residential buildings and forcing the local metro system to close after a train was hit. It was part of a nationwide assault that ranks among the largest coordinated attacks in the three years of full-scale war, with 44 ballistic and cruise missiles and 407 drones launched. About 50 people were injured across the country. Yurii Ihnat, the Ukrainian air force spokesperson, said Ukrainian forces had shot down about 30 of the cruise missiles and up to 200 of the drones. Russia's defence ministry said its forces had carried out the overnight attacks in response to what it called Ukrainian 'terrorist acts' against Russia. The Kremlin later described its three-year invasion of Ukraine as 'existential' for Russia, casting it as nothing short of a battle for the 'future' of Russia. 'For us it is an existential issue, an issue on our national interest, safety, on our future and the future of our children, of our country,' the Kremlin spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, told reporters, responding to remarks by Trump on Thursday comparing Moscow and Kyiv to brawling children. On Friday night Trump was more critical of Ukraine, telling reporters on Air Force One that Operation Spiderweb had 'given Putin a reason to go in and bomb the hell out of them'. Despite the efforts of Ukraine's air defences, the authorities in Kyiv reported that three emergency workers had been killed and 20 people wounded, of whom 16 had been hospitalised. 'Search and rescue operations are ongoing at several locations,' Kyiv's mayor, Vitali Klitschko, said on Telegram. Related: Hegseth says Nato allies 'very close' to raising defence spending target to 5% According to the ministry of internal affairs, the three victims were firefighters from the state emergency service who died while responding to the attack. 'They were working under fire to help people,' the ministry said in a statement. Operation of the city's metro transport system was disrupted after a Russian strike damaged a train travelling between stations, the city's military administration said. The air attack also triggered fires in residential buildings in different parts of Kyiv, authorities said. A residential block in the Solomianskyi district took severe damage to the upper floors with entire windows, balcony frames, and parts of an outer wall blown away. More than 2,000 households in Kyiv's eastern bank remained without electricity on Friday morning. Russia had previously vowed to take revenge on Ukraine after Monday's audacious drone attack, known as Operation Spiderweb, on its bomber fleet. Initially, two TU-95MC and two TU-160MC bombers were deployed by Russia on Thursday night. This was a lower number than had been feared and may have been the result of the Kremlin's resources being reduced by the events of 1 June. Kalibr missiles were also fired from Russian warships stationed in the Black Sea. Putin informed the US president, Donald Trump, in a call on Wednesday that Russia would respond to the operation that Ukraine has claimed damaged or destroyed 41 aircraft. 'They went deep into Russia and [Putin] actually told me we have no choice but to attack based on that, and it's probably not going to be pretty,' Trump had told reporters. Trump said it may be better to let Ukraine and Russia 'fight for a while' rather than pursue peace immediately. Ukraine and Russia met for talks in Istanbul on Monday with no headway to a truce, but the two sides signalled progress on other issues, including the transfer of captives and bodies. The barrage on Kyiv had begun with the buzz of Russian kamikaze drones followed by Ukrainian anti-aircraft fire. Through the night the city was shaken by large explosions. Tymur Tkachenko, the head of Kyiv's military administration, said drones had struck the upper floors of a high-rise apartment building and started a fire in Darnytskyi district on the east side of the city. One unofficial Telegram channel said a shopping centre in the area was ablaze. Tkachenko said a fire had also broken out in an apartment building in a western district. Drone fragments were found in three districts. Ukraine's commissioner for human rights, Dmytro Lubinets, demanded a strong international response to Russia's latest attack. 'Russia is acting like a terrorist, systematically targeting civilian infrastructure,' he wrote on Telegram. 'The world must respond clearly and take concrete steps, including condemning the aggressor's actions.' Elsewhere in the country, 10 people were reported injured in the western city of Ternopil, including five emergency workers, said the regional governor, Viacheslav Nehoda. Three people were injured in Ukraine's central Poltava region after strikes on administrative buildings, warehouses and a cafe. Russian forces also struck the Khmelnytskyi region, damaging a private residential building, outbuildings, and several vehicles. Air defence forces shot down three Russian missiles in the western Lviv region overnight, according to the regional head, Maksym Kozytskyi.

Notes for Trump

Presented by The Canadian Medical Association Send tips | Subscribe here | Email Canada Playbook | Follow Politico Canada Happy Monday. Thanks for reading Canada Playbook. Let's get into it. → JUSTIN TRUDEAU's prep note for a DONALD TRUMP call in February. → Three things we're watching this week: tariffs, streamers and the House. → Liberal MP SUKH DHALIWAL on the PM's NARENDRA MODI invite to the G7. THE FIRST THING SPENDING BOOST — Prime Minister MARK CARNEY is scheduled to make a defense and security announcement in Toronto at 10 a.m. He'll tour a military facility and speak with reporters at 1 p.m. — Sources tell The Globe and Mail's STEVE CHASE that Carney will unveil a plan that hits NATO's defense spending benchmark in the current fiscal year. Trade war TRUDEAU-TRUMP CALL — Ten days before Trump unleashed tariffs on Canadian-made goods in early March, Trudeau was on the horn with the U.S. president. A briefing note prepared for the PM in advance of the Feb. 22 call reveals his two major priorities: the war in Ukraine, which was two days away from its third anniversary, and those pesky, painful, looming tariffs. → Priority No. 1: 'Reiterate importance of engagement as part of G7 and the upcoming [leaders' video teleconference] and support for Ukraine and for the principle of a just and sustainable peace.' → Priority No. 2: 'Express disappointment with the President's decision to impose tariffs on Canada and reiterate the Government of Canada's obligation to defend the interests of Canadians.' — Good cop: The PM's briefers counseled him on saying nice things. 'In your first weeks in office, you have moved quickly on key issues, including economic security, energy dominance, and border security,' the note read, adding these were 'shared priorities.' And on Ukraine: 'I know the G7 appreciates your commitment to ending this war,' read a suggested talking point that also pressed the imperative of a sovereign Ukraine with a seat at the negotiating table. 'A bad peace will reverberate around the world,' read another line. — American firearms: The briefers tucked in a section on the increasing number of guns crossing the border into Canada. 'Canadian police have long warned that illegal U.S. firearms are driving gun-related crime in this country,' read the note. Trudeau and Trump both published readouts following the conversation. Neither mentioned firearms coming up in the conversation. — Trade 101: The memo advised Trudeau on how to cautiously rebut Trump's persistent claim that an American trade deficit with Canada is a 'subsidy.' The suggested talking points sound at times like an exasperated undergrad economics prof: 'The U.S. does not give anything for free by trading with Canada,' the memo said. 'It willingly purchases and obtains products it needs in return.' — Redacted entirely: A short section with advice on how to respond to Trump on defense spending. THREE THINGS WE'RE WATCHING COUNTER-TARIFF OR NAH — That is the question Prime Minister MARK CARNEY is mulling as he faces pressure to respond to Trump's latest hit to Canada's economy. Last week, the U.S. doubled tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum to 50 percent. Business and labor leaders were quick to call for retaliation, alongside Ontario Premier DOUG FORD — who accused the PM of falling short in his response to Trump. — Patience wearing thin: This week, they're expecting answers. Canadian Steel Producers Association President CATHERINE COBDEN described her recent discussions with Cabinet ministers and senior officials on Parliament Hill as 'intense' and 'frank.' 'The CSPA expects to see concrete action taken as early as next week and we offer our full support to Canadian policymakers to ensure that action comes forward as soon as possible,' Cobden said in a statement Friday. Industry Minister MÉLANIE JOLY told The Globe and Mail a crackdown on the dumping of cheap foreign steel into Canada is coming, addressing concerns on that file from the Trump administration. — Turning up the heat: Ford has no plans to bring down the temperature himself, as Carney and Trump reportedly negotiate a cross-border deal. 'I have the utmost respect for the prime minister and his job. He's negotiating, but I have to protect the people of Ontario,' he told reporters in Toronto Friday. — On the horn: Ford says he speaks with Carney every day, and has been very clear with his message to the PM: 'The ideal situation is to get a deal, and if that deal does not happen in the next few days, then we have to slap another 25 percent tariff on top of the existing 25 percent tariff on our aluminum and steel,' Ford said. DAY IN COURT — Foreign streaming giants are pushing back against Ottawa's controversial Online Streaming Act. This week, they'll take their fight to the Federal Court of Appeal in Toronto. Regulations under the law have ordered foreign streaming companies to fund local news and other Canadian content through a portion of their Canadian revenue. — Major players: Amazon, Apple and Spotify have taken legal action to avoid coughing up a cut of their Canadian earnings. The Motion Picture Association – Canada, which represents studios such as Netflix, Disney, Paramount, Sony, NBCUniversal and Warner Bros., filed their own legal challenge. Their cases have been consolidated into one and will be heard by a judge starting today. WENDY NOSS, MPA — Canada's president, previously called the tax 'a discriminatory measure that goes far beyond what Parliament intended.' — Trade irritant: Republican and Democratic lawmakers in Washington have raised concerns over the law, insisting it discriminates against U.S. companies. Trump administration officials are monitoring the issue, including the Office of the United States Trade Representative — which has pegged the law as a trade barrier. BUILD, BABY, BUILD — The PM wants his signature 'One Canadian Economy' bill passed by the time the House is scheduled to adjourn for the summer on June 20. But if that doesn't happen, he's prepared to sit into July. 'We're in a crisis,' Carney said Friday. 'We will do everything to get it passed before the summer. And if parliament needs to sit longer, it should sit longer.' — Fine print: The PM is finding out that the House of Commons doesn't often move as quickly as a boardroom. Carney's government had to backpedal from a campaign promise of cross-Canada free trade by Canada Day. During a technical briefing for the bill, government officials said the goal is now to remove as many internal trade barriers 'as possible' by July 1. PLAYBOOK'S ONE-ON-ONE SURPRISE INVITE — B.C. Liberal MP SUKH DHALIWAL woke up in a state of shock Friday morning. News had just broken that Indian Prime Minister NARENDRA MODI would attend the upcoming G7 leaders' summit in Kananaskis. — Piece of the economic puzzle: Carney argued it made 'sense' having India at the table after consulting with other G7 partners. 'India is the fifth-largest economy in the world, effectively the most populous country in the world,' and central to global supply chains, Carney told reporters Friday. — Complete about-face: The Modi invite marked a remarkable shift in foreign policy for the Liberal government. Only eight months ago, the Trudeau government expelled India's high commissioner and five envoys after the RCMP revealed evidence linking members of India's government to multiple homicides on Canadian soil. The RCMP also uncovered apparent evidence of Indian interference into Canada's democratic processes. 'My constituents are telling me it's the wrong move to invite Prime Minister Modi,' Dhaliwal said to Playbook. 'Canada is the country of rule of law, the country of justice, the champion of human rights.' — Constituents first: Dhaliwal represents the riding of Surrey Newton, where Sikh Khalistani activist HARDEEP SINGH NIJJAR was gunned down in June 2023 outside a gurdwara. He was a constituent of Dhaliwal's. Trudeau told the House of Commons in September 2023 that Canada had 'credible allegations' that agents acting on behalf of the Indian government were involved in Nijjar's death. The Indian government rejected the allegations as 'absurd' and 'motivated,' and alleged Canada was a supporter of Khalistani 'terrorists.' Dhaliwal was the first MP to visit the gurdwara after the shooting and has remained engaged ever since. — Feeling the heat: The MP's phone has been 'ringing like crazy.' He has lost track of all the emails from constituents. 'People are telling me that they are not very happy. They're worried about their safety,' he said. 'It's ordinary people on the ground. People who don't have any links to anything. Just ordinary citizens, coming into my office telling me, 'this is not the right thing to do.'' — Message to the PM: Dhaliwal expects to share his constituents' concerns with Carney in the coming days. His ask: 'Make sure that India fully cooperates in the investigation so justice can be served for the victims and their family.' — Another thing: 'Make sure moving forward there will be, absolutely zero, interference from India into our affairs here in Canada,' he said. MORNING MUST-CLICKS — U.S. Ambassador to Canada PETE HOEKSTRA says the U.S. will not dictate what the Canadian government must spend on defense, CP's DYLAN ROBERTSON writes. — The Hill Times' ABBAS RANA reports that PMO staffers are no longer allowed in Liberal national caucus meetings. First quote from Liberal MP HEDY FRY: 'It's a good idea.' — 'PIERRE POILIEVRE's numbers as preferred prime minister have plummeted,' NIK NANOS tells CTV News. 'Him losing his seat, him not being in the House of Commons, him not having the same type of profile as during the election has really hurt him. It will be interesting to see if he recovers from this.' — Top of POLITICO this morning: How Trump broke the politics of Medicaid — Military deploys to support northern Ontario wildfire evacuations, Global News reports. — CTV's JUDY TRINH reports a father living in Canada faces indefinite separation from his son with Trump's travel ban. THE ROOMS THAT MATTER — Liberals will gather for a Laurier Club donor garden party this evening at the Canadian War Museum. Prime Minister MARK CARNEY will be there. A pile of ministers are expected to join him, including JOËL LIGHTBOUND, CHRYSTIA FREELAND, MARJORIE MICHEL, RECHIE VALDEZ, DOMINIC LEBLANC, PATTY HAJDU, JULIE DABRUSIN, STEVEN MACKINNON, JOANNE THOMPSON, STEPHANIE MCLEAN, ELEANOR OLSZEWSKI, RANDEEP SARAI, DAVID MCGUINTY and STEVEN GUILBEAULT. — Alberta Premier DANIELLE SMITH will deliver a keynote address at the Calgary Region Hydrogen Hub grand opening. The Global Energy Show also kicks off in Calgary today. — Monday and Tuesday are opposition days in the House of Commons. PROZONE For Pro subscribers, our latest policy newsletter by MIKE BLANCHFIELD, NICK TAYLOR-VAISEY and MICKEY DJURIC: 'Crisis' trade law needed by summer.
