Rusia a trimis submarinul nuclear lângă Insulele Kurile, revendicate de Japonia, și a tras cu rachete Bastion • Newsweek România

Russia has conducted missile exercises near the Kuril Islands, a territory claimed by Japan, escalating tensions between the two nations. The Russian Pacific Fleet launched Bastion missiles during the drills, involving the cruiser Varyag and the nuclear submarine Omsk. Japan has officially protested against these military activities, reaffirming its claim over the islands, which it calls the Northern Territories. The dispute, rooted in the aftermath of World War II, has hindered a formal peace treaty between Russia and Japan. The recent military actions come amid deteriorating relations following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, with Japan tightening its diplomatic stance on the territorial issue.
