Shin didn't say what specific missiles Russia gave to North Korea.
Many observers say North Korea has likely felt the urgent need to boost its air defense capabilities after it last monthof flying drones to scatter propaganda leaflets over Pyongyang. North Korea threatened to take military action if leaflets were again dropped. South Korea's military has refused to confirm whether or not it was behind the alleged drone flights.
Shin said Russia has also appeared to have given economic assistance to North Korea and various military technologies, including those needed for the North's efforts to build a reliable space-based surveillance system. Shin didn't say whether Russia has already transferred sensitive nuclear and missile technologies to North Korea.
