Russia test-fires supersonic anti-ship missiles in Sea of Japan.

Russia's Defense Ministry announced that it test-fired anti-ship missiles in the Sea of Japan, with two boats launching a simulated missile attack on a mock enemy warship about 60 miles away. The Moskit cruise missiles successfully hit the target, and the exercise included other warships and naval aircraft. Japan reacted calmly to the missile exercise, and Tokyo does not plan to lodge a protest to Russia over the missile exercise.
