A ship that appears to be a North Korean wooden ship was found off the coast of Japan.

According to Japanese media TBS News, a wooden boat was found washed up on the coast of Hamanaka in Sakata City, Yamagata Prefecture at around 9:30 a.m. on the 6th.

According to an investigation by the Sakata Coast Guard, there was a letter 'j - jeon-1-13168' on the front of the ship.




If you look at the Korean notation, it seems to be a wooden ship of North Korea.

The hull is about 5.7 meters long and 1.5 meters wide. There were no fishing gear, clothes, or food inside the ship.

In addition, nothing was found around the hull at the time of discovery except for a large amount of garbage.




The Sakata Coast Guard will investigate the ship further.

Meanwhile, Japan's maritime security agency urged people not to ride or touch wooden pieces that are washed away or floating on the coast.
