🇷🇺🇯🇵 Russia bans Japanese group campaigning over disputed islands

Russia's prosecutor general said it had banned a group campaigning for Japanese sovereignty over four disputed islands.

The group - known as the League of Residents of Chishima and Habomai Islands - organized annual trips to the islands by their former Japanese residents.

In a statement, the Russian prosecutor's office declared the League of Residents "undesirable", accusing it of "forming a negative opinion" about Russia and risking destabilization on the disputed Kuril Islands.

🇨🇳🇰🇷🇯🇵 China, South Korea oppose Japan PM's ritual offering to Yasukuni war shrine

China has lodged representations with Japan over Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s ritual offering to the Yasukuni Shrine, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said.

South Korea’s Foreign Ministry also protested Kishida’s ritual offering. “The Korean government urges responsible figures in Japan to face its history and show humble introspection and true remorse for the past with its action,” a spokesperson said.

The Japan Times reported that Kishida sent a ritual offering to the shrine in relation to the start of a spring festival on Friday.

The Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo is seen in China and South Korea as a symbol of Japan’s former military aggression, honoring Class-A World War II criminals, who were found responsible by killing thousands of Chinese and Korean people.

One of the missiles appear to be recently made: in 2022/2023.
