The Russian Defense Ministry has summoned the American military attaché in connection with the attempt by the US destroyer Chafee to cross the Russian border in the Sea of Japan. The incident took place today, October 15th. The ships approached less than 60 meters.
“The representative of the US Armed Forces was informed of the position of the Russian military department in connection with an attempt by the US Navy destroyer Chafee to violate the state border of the Russian Federation in the Peter the Great Gulf on October 15,” the statement said.
As previously reported by the Ministry of Defense, Russian sailors warned the American about the inadmissibility of violating the border. In addition, they were in an area closed to navigation. It is closed due to artillery fire during the Russian-Chinese exercises “Sea Interaction-2021”.
