Russia’s Pacific Fleet says it conducted missile-launch drills against simulated enemy ships in waters near the Southern Kuril Islands, hitting every target. The cruiser Varyag fired Vulkan anti-ship missiles, the nuclear-powered submarine Omsk launched Granit cruise missiles and a Bastion system fired an Oniks missile. Japan’s Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi said Tokyo cannot tolerate moves to strengthen military power on the islands.
