The Russian Defense Ministry has announced that it conducted a simulated attack in the Sea of Japan. The exercise included two boats firing several nuclear-capable missiles, according to a statement issued by the ministry.

The drills were aimed at testing the sea-based missile systems and training crews on how to detect enemy vessels and launch an attack. The exercises took place amid heightened tensions between Russia and its neighbors over territorial disputes.

"Two small missile ships carried out a practical task under conditional enemy fire. They performed electronic launches of Kalibr cruise missiles and P-270 anti-ship missiles," said the statement.

The P-270 is known for its ability to hit targets with high precision, even from long distances. It is also capable of penetrating advanced air defense systems, making it difficult for enemy forces to intercept.

Russia's actions have drawn criticism from neighboring countries who are concerned about Moscow's military buildup in the region. Japan has condemned the move as "extremely regrettable."

"We cannot accept any actions that raise tensions in this region," said Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Katsunobu Kato during a press briefing on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, South Korea has called for restraint from all parties involved in the dispute over territorial waters.

"We urge all parties to refrain from taking measures that may escalate tensions or pose threats to peace on the Korean Peninsula," said South Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman Choi Young-sam.

Russia's latest military exercises come amid growing concerns about its aggressive foreign policy towards neighboring countries. Its annexation of Crimea in 2014 sparked international condemnation and led to sanctions against Moscow by Western nations.

In conclusion, while Moscow claims that these exercises are routine training exercises aimed at bolstering national defense capabilities, they have raised alarm bells among Russia's neighbors who fear an escalation of hostilities could lead to conflict.
