Russia says it test-fired anti-ship missiles in Sea of Japan

 Moscow test-fired anti-ship missiles in the Sea of Japan, Russia’s Defense Ministry said Tuesday, with two boats launching a simulated missile attack on a mock enemy warship about 100 kilometers (60 miles) away.

The ministry said the target was successfully hit by two Moskit cruise missiles.

Japan reacted calmly to the missile exercise, which was conducted near Vladivostok, rather than directly into the waters between the two countries.

Japanese Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihiko Isozaki told a news conference later Tuesday that Tokyo will continue to monitor Russia’s military operations, as it has been stepping up activity in the region.

Tokyo does not plan to lodge a protest to Russia over the missile exercise, said Tasuku Matsuki, 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.

Japan Says Disputed Islands ‘Illegally Occupied’ by Russia.

南千島群島在二戰結束前為日本領土，但在八月風暴行動的軍事進攻後被蘇聯佔領，成為蘇聯及其繼承國俄羅斯的領土之一。俄方認為依照《舊金山和約》，日本已放棄包括南千島群島在內的整個千島群島之主權，日方則認為該和約所定義的千島群島不包括南千島群島，因此認定南千島群島仍為其領土、並一直向俄方要求歸還主權，兩方因此產生主權爭議。

.Russia Fires Supersonic Anti-Ship Missile at Mock Target in Sea of Japan. 

Russian Defense Ministry Press Service on March 28, 2023, a Russian navy boat launches an anti-ship missile test in the Peter The Great Gulf in the Sea of Japan.

.Russias navy fired supersonic anti-ship missiles at a mock target in the Sea of Japan, the Russian defense ministry said on Tuesday.

"In the waters of the Sea of Japan, missile ships of the Pacific Fleet fired Moskit cruise missiles at a mock enemy sea target," it said in a statement on its Telegram account.

"The target, located at a distance of about 100 kilometers, was successfully hit by a direct hit from two Moskit cruise missiles."

The P-270 Moskit missile, which has the NATO reporting name or SS-N-22 Sunburn, is a medium-range supersonic cruise missile of Soviet origin, capable of destroying a ship within a range of up to 120 kilometers.

Japans foreign minister Yoshimasa Hayashi said Tokyo will stay vigilant against Moscows military operations, while adding that no damage had been reported after the missile launches.

"As Russias invasion of Ukraine continues, Russian forces are also becoming more active in the Far East, including Japans vicinities," Hayashi told a regular press conference.

The firing of the missiles comes a week after two Russian strategic bomber planes, capable of carrying nuclear weapons, flew over the Sea of Japan for more than seven hours in what Moscow said was a "planned flight."

Asked about Russias plans to station tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus, Hayashi said Japan condemned the move and demanded Russia and Belarus to stop "such an action that would further increase tensions."
