North Korea has warned that NATO will face "tragic consequences" if the alliance continues to condemn its friendly relationship with Russia.

A spokesperson from North Korea's Foreign Ministry, speaking anonymously, stated that the country would take all necessary measures to minimize the threat posed by the United States.

The same spokesperson expressed Pyongyang's regret over NATO's increasing support for Ukraine. Additionally, North Korea’s Foreign Ministry accused NATO of expanding its influence over the Korean Peninsula and into Asia.

"If NATO continues to try hard to infringe upon the dignity, sovereignty, security, and interests of the DPRK while persistently pursuing hostile policy toward it, NATO blindly following the U.S. will be held wholly responsible for the tragic consequences to be entailed by it," the spokesperson added.

According to The New York Times, North Korea has reportedly been shipping missiles to Russia, whose arsenal is running low after more than two years of conflict.

In the past, Vladimir Putin traveled to Pyongyang to meet Kim Jong Un and request military aid, particularly shells and missiles.
