The train crossed the border amid reports of ammunition sales from North Korea to Russia.
This week, a train arrived from North Korea to Russia, which included three closed cars. This was reported on Saturday, November 5 by the American analytical center 38 North, which received satellite images.
It is indicated that this is the first time in several years that such train movement has been observed on the route.
“It is impossible to determine the train’s purpose from the images, but the border crossing comes amid reports of arms sales from North Korea to Russia and a general expectation of continued trade between the two countries,” Reuters reported.
It is noted that although this is the first train observed in satellite images running between the DPRK and Russia, this does not mean that it is the only train that has passed through in recent months.

North Korea reportedly closed the 800-meter bridge over the Tamangan River, the only land connection between the countries, in February 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
It will be recalled that this week the White House said that North Korea is secretly supplying shells to Russia amid a shortage of ammunition in the aggressor country.
Earlier, the Office of the President announced that Ukraine will demilitarize the DPRK following Russia.
