Russia Successfully Tests Supersonic Missiles in Sea of Japan

Russia's Pacific Fleet fired two Moskit cruise missiles at a mock target in waters off Japan's coast during a training exercise. The missiles are capable of destroying a ship within a range of up to 120 kilometers. The exercise comes after Russia conducted drills earlier this month in the Sea of Japan, and a week after Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida made a surprise visit to Ukraine. Japan and Russia are also embroiled in a territorial dispute over the southern Kuril islands.
