Russia has fired a major missile warning near the disputed Kuril Islands, just days after Japan condemned Vladimir Putin’s visit to the region. The Russian Pacific Fleet says the exercise involved the Varyag guided missile cruiser, Omsk nuclear-powered submarine and Bastion coastal missile system, striking simulated enemy targets around 300 km away.
The drills have triggered a fresh diplomatic clash with Japan, which continues to claim the southern Kuril Islands as its “Northern Territories.” Moscow insists its sovereignty over the islands is non-negotiable and has warned of countermeasures over Japan’s support for Ukraine and Western sanctions.
