US raises alarm over North Korea's military aid to Russia in Ukraine war

Summary: The U.S. is increasingly concerned about North Korea's military support for Russia in its war against Ukraine. Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell noted that North Korea is supplying materials like artillery and missiles, raising alarms among U.S. allies.
