The contents of these containers, which were reported to be transported by rail to a Russian ammunition depot near the Ukrainian border, remain undisclosed. Maria's operations, which involved loading containers at Rajin and unloading at Konyushkov Bay, are part of a broader investigation into container transport between the DPRK and Russia, involving multiple Russian-flagged vessels, indicating systematic goods transfer that is under review for potential sanctions violations. · | [sources] | |||
