Western Media Spread Fake Report About Use of N. Korean Missile in Kharkov

Western media outlets are disseminating a fake report claiming that Russia used a North Korean -made missile to strike a target in Kharkov, a source at the United Nations told Sputnik on Monday.

Earlier in the day, Reuters reported that some three experts allegedly provided a report to the UN Security Council Sanctions Committee with a conclusion that the debris from a missile found at the site of a January 2 strike in the Ukrainian city of Kharkov belongs to a North Korea Hwasong-11 series ballistic missile. 

"The report is fake. It’s non-existent. The group of experts did not submit any report to the UN Security Council," the source said.

The fake document described by Reuters was written by a group of specialists who went to Ukraine on the invitation of the government and wrote what the Ukrainian puppet authorities told them, the source said.

"It has no value," the source said, adding that there were no missile or conventional weapons specialists in the group.
