The British media Daily Mail quoted a report by NK News, a U.S.-based North Korean media outlet.
However, it is unclear whether North Korean workers actually cooked their dogs.
As rumors spread, Russian authorities in Vladivostok denied the claim and released video filmed at the construction site.
The video shows North Korean workers petting a dog next to a large pot and a red soup stew boiling.
Pointing to the pot, a construction site official said there is no meat in the stew, just spicy kimchi. This is not a cafe or restaurant, but a construction site accommodation."
Local residents expressed concern over the succession of missing pets, and since then, there has been all sorts of speculation on social media.
Then, some residents visited where actual North Korean workers stayed to check the authenticity of the rumors.
In North Korea, dog meat is called 's sweet meat' and is known as a food that helps improve physical strength.
Rumors that workers ate dogs were presumed to be untrue due to the video, but evidence of a clear violation of U.N. sanctions.
After North Korea's missile test, the United Nations passed a resolution banning the hiring of North Korean workers abroad in 2017.
However, a video released by the Vladivostok authorities showed North Korean workers working at construction sites, confirming that Russia violated U.N. resolutions and hired them.
