Russian Foreign Minister: ``The US claim that ``North Korea provided weapons'' is nothing more than a rumor.''

Russia dismissed the claim, saying, ``The US claim that North Korea supplied weapons to Russia is nothing more than a rumor.'' On the 20th (local time) Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov announced on Russian state media
In an interview with ``Russia 1,'' when asked about the US White House's announcement that ``North Korea recently sent containers containing military supplies to Russia,'' he answered, ``I don't want to talk about rumors.
I won't comment.'' He went on to say, ``It's not new that the United States continues to condemn everything,'' and ``everyone knows this.''
Earlier, a spokesperson for the Kremlin (Russia's presidential office) also denied the West's claims of arms deals between Russia and North Korea, saying there was ``no evidence.''

"No," he demanded.
