Russia and North Korea near completion of first road bridge across Tumen River

Russia and North Korea are approaching the completion of their first direct road bridge across the Tumen River, connecting the Russian settlement of Khasan with Tumangang in North Korea. The new infrastructure runs alongside an existing rail link between the two countries.

Ukrainian officials have raised concerns about the development, warning that the bridge could function as a strategic corridor to facilitate logistics and military supplies between Moscow and Pyongyang. The project reflects growing bilateral cooperation between Russia and North Korea amid international sanctions.
