Russia test-fires anti-ship missiles in the Sea of Japan, hitting mock target

LA Times  

A Russian naval vessel launches an anti-ship missile in the Sea of Japan. Russia test-fired anti-ship missiles in the Sea of Japan, the Russian Defense Ministry said Tuesday, with two boats launching a simulated missile attack on a mock enemy warship about 60 miles away. Japanese Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihiko Isozaki told a news conference later Tuesday that Tokyo would continue to monitor Russia’s military operations, as Moscow has been stepping up activity in the region. Tokyo does not plan to lodge a protest with Russia over the missile exercise, said Tasuku Matsuki, the Japanese Foreign Ministry official in charge of Russia, noting that its location — Peter the Great Bay — is considered Russian coast, though it is facing the water between the two countries. “On the whole, Japan is concerned about Russia’s increasing military activities around the Japanese coasts and watching them with great interest,” Matsuki said.
