According to CoinMeta, on the 20th, the Russian Pacific Fleet stated on social media that a mixed strike force from the Pacific Fleet conducted missile launch training against simulated enemy ships in the waters near the Southern Kuril Islands (referred to by Japan as the Northern Four Islands), and all targets were successfully hit. The Russian Pacific Fleet mentioned in the post that in the waters near the Southern Kuril Islands, the missile cruiser "Varyag" launched "Kinzhal" anti-ship missiles, the nuclear-powered submarine "Omsk" launched "Granit" cruise missiles, and the "Fort" land-based anti-ship missile system launched "Onyx" anti-ship missiles. The training targets were more than 300 kilometers away from the launch sites. The Russian side did not mention the time of this training. Additionally, according to a report by Japan's Kyodo News on the 21st, regarding the Russian missile launch training near the disputed islands between Japan and Russia, Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi stated to the media during his visit to Oman on the 20th local time that "strengthening military capabilities in the Northern Four Islands goes against Japan's position and is unacceptable."
