Tokyo to summon Russian envoy over journalist detention
Tokyo has announced that it will summon the Russian ambassador in protest against Moscow's detention of a Japanese journalist on espionage charges. This comes amidst escalating tensions between the two countries over Sakhalin Island and the surrounding area. The Japanese Foreign Ministry clarified that Ambassador Nikolai Nuzdrev will be asked to secure the release of journalist Yuki Imai, who was arrested by Russian authorities and charged with engaging in espionage activities on Russian soil, with the possibility of detention until December 12. This move is part of a broader escalation in the relations between Japan and Russia, which have been strained by longstanding territorial disputes.
