Japan cordons off beach due to ‘mystery ball’

"A mysterious ball found on a beach in a Japanese city has prompted the police to cordon off the area. They are concerned that the object may be some kind of sea mine, according to local media.

Police cordoned off the area in a 200-meter radius around the object and called the Japanese Self- Defense Forces, asking the military to send someone to inspect it for explosives.

The hunt for mysterious round objects has intensified after the US accused China of flying a “spy balloon” through its airspace earlier this month." RT
