North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Russian President Vladimir Putin have both arrived at Russia’s remote space rocket launch site, the Vostochny Cosmodrome, according to Russian state media RIA Novosti and TASS.
The two leaders are expected to hold arms talks that could see Pyongyang provide weapons for Moscow to use against Ukraine.
Images of the remote space center, in Russia's Far East region, show both the Russian and North Korean flags flying outside the building.
Kim arrived in Russia on Tuesday after traveling from Pyongyang on his private train; on Wednesday morning, ahead of the leader's arrival at the space center, North Korea fired two short-range ballistic missiles, according to South Korean authorities.
