“The condition of the wounded border guards is stable,” TASS quoted him as saying.

However, he did not confirm media reports about the possibility of attracting aviation to transport the affected border guards to the shore.

As a result of the attack, three servicemen were injured.

After that, the FSB detained more than 80 DPRK citizens and two fishing schooners in the Sea of ​​Japan.
