Russia will conduct missile launches and torpedo tests as part of a surprise inspection of its Pacific naval fleet, amid heightened tension in the Asia-Pacific region. The drills will simulate an enemy landing on Russia's Sakhalin island and on its southern Kuril Islands, some of which are claimed by Japan in a territorial dispute dating back to the end of World War Two. The exercises aim to increase the ability of the Armed Forces to repel the aggression of a probable enemy from the direction of ocean and sea.
