Bloomberg reported on the unusual appearance of a rare Russian Il-62M military aircraft in North Korea, which increases fears about a possible military agreement between the leaders of the countries, Kim Jong-un and Vladimir Putin, in the context of strengthening relations between the states.


According to FlightRadar24, the plane made a direct flight from Moscow to Pyongyang on July 31 and returned on August 2. The plane was at Pyongyang International Airport for about 36 hours, according to the South Korean NK News.


Neither Russia nor North Korea has provided official information about the plane and who was on board. This raises questions and suspicions about possible covert military cooperation between the two countries, which could affect the situation in the region.
