A shell fired by North Korea fell outside the Japanese exclusive economic zone in the Sea of ​​Japan. This was reported by the Kyodo agency, citing government sources.

According to the source, no information has been reported about damage or damage to Japanese territory as a result of the launch.

Earlier, the Joint Chiefs of Staff of South Korea reported that the DPRK had fired an unidentified shell towards the Sea of ​​Japan.

On January 5, North Korea tested a supersonic missile that flew 700 kilometers and “hit the target exactly”. This is the first alleged test of the DPRK's weapons this year. The previous one took place on October 19 last year, when the DPRK tested a new submarine-launched ballistic missile.

In response, the United States and several other states called on the DPRK to stop missile tests and begin negotiations on denuclearization. The joint statement came shortly before the UN Security Council meeting on missile tests in North Korea, in which Pyongyang claims a newly developed hypersonic missile was involved.
