Moscow’s foreign ministry has downplayed reports that the long-range missile North Korea tested last week fell in Russia’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ), despite evidence to the contrary from the Japanese government.
In a Telegram post on Friday, foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said there is “no supportive information” to confirm the DPRK’s Hwasong-18 intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) fell into Russian waters, rejecting the conclusions of a top U.N. official.
