“In the waters of the Sea of Japan, missile boats from the Pacific Fleet fired Moskit cruise missiles at a simulated enemy sea target,” the ministry said on Telegram. Two ships took part in the exercise.
The target, 100 kilometers away, was “successfully hit by two Moskit cruise missiles.” Moscow says its naval aviators monitored the “safety of the combat exercise.”
The exercises of the Russian Pacific Fleet took place a week after Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s visit to Ukraine instead of. Kishida met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kiev.
Japan has joined Western allies in sanctioning Russia over its offensive in Ukraine.
