Pompeii says North Korea's gunfire at the demilitarized armed forces' surveillance posts would be an accident.

[Pompeo / US Secretary of State: A few shots were fired from the North. We think it's an accident.]

Both sides emphasized that there was no casualties, and the possibility of North Korea's intentional provocation was small.

Kim Jong-un referred to North Korea's chairman of the State Council, where the presence was confirmed, and emphasized again that the US mission was to force North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons.

However, he declined to comment, saying he cannot say whether he has Corona 19 or cardiovascular disease.

He added that there is not much to share about the performance of Chairman Kim over the past three weeks. He added that he does not know why Kim Il Sung was absent from his birthday.

Regarding the origin of Corona 19, there was huge evidence that it began at the Wuhan Virus Research Institute in China.

[Pompeo / US Secretary of State: There is huge evidence of where Corona 19 began. We have always said that this virus originated in Wuhan, China.]

It is not the first time that the world has been exposed to a virus due to the failure of a Chinese research institute, and he stressed that the US timetable will hold China accountable.
