Russia uses North Korean laborers on student visas to build drones, report says

A report alleges Russia has created a student visa scheme to disguise North Korean laborers as students, using them to illicitly build drones and generate revenue for Pyongyang's weapons programs. The claim is sourced from a single report and lacks independent corroboration. If confirmed, this would mark a deepening of Russia-North Korea military cooperation, potentially violating international sanctions and expanding North Korea's involvement in the Ukraine conflict.
