Ms Kim Yo Jong said North Korea's developing weapons were not meant for exports but for defence against South Korea.

Ms Kim Yo Jong said North Korea's developing weapons were not meant for exports but for defence against South Korea.

The US and South Korea accused North Korea of transferring weapons to Russia for use against Ukraine, which it invaded in February 2022. Both Moscow and Pyongyang have denied the accusations, but vowed in 2023 to deepen military relations. But, Ms Kim Yo Jong said the North Korea-Russia arms deal"theory" made up of prejudice and fiction was the"most absurd theory" that does not deserve anyone's evaluation or interpretation, according to KCNA quoting her press statement, calling it a false rumour spread by its hostile forces.

North and South Korea remain technically at war because their 1950 to 1953 conflict ended in a truce, not a treaty.
