The Story in Brief
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said domestically made ballistic missiles could be combat-ready within two to three months, with a larger version capable of hitting Moscow expected by late fall. Speaking on 8 August, he warned that Russia may deploy 30,000 to 50,000 North Korean troops, adding that North Korean missiles have already been found in Ukraine. The same day, Russian overnight attacks on Kyiv and the surrounding region killed four people, including a three-year-old child, and injured eight others, according to Ukrainian authorities.
The Indian Opinion
Ukraine's claim of a missile that can reach Moscow feeds a familiar narrative of a turning tide, but the timeline is tight and depends on foreign components that Russia also uses. The North Korean troop warning, while alarming, has not been independently verified. Both sides routinely exaggerate capabilities and deployments. The real test will be whether the FP9 missile actually enters combat by late autumn, or whether this is another round of psychological warfare to keep Western allies committed.
