Russian Civil Airplane An-26 broke the airspace of Japan. This is reported by the agency “Kiodo”.
According to the publication, the Japanese side accused Russia in violation of airspace at Hokkaido Island in the north of the country. Tokyo in diplomatic channels called on Moscow to no longer allow such incidents.
Japan’s authorities expressed a protest due to what happened. The agency reports that the air defense air forces of Japan raised aircraft into the air to intercept An-26.
Earlier, the Government of Japan made the report of Russia in connection with the plans for the introduction of a special tax regime in the Kuril Islands. According to the Secretary General of the Japanese government Katsunobu Kato, such a decision of Russia contradicts Tokyo’s position on smokers. However, Japan is still ready to discuss joint economic activities on the southern part of the Kuril Islands.
