By the way, Japan also made a big military training today (25th)?

<Reporter>

A massive fire drill was held near Mt. Fuji in Japan.

Although this is a regular training at this time of year, it is unfortunately the same as the Dokdo training.

Training included 2,400 SDF members, 80 tanks, armored vehicles, and aircraft, with 35 tons of ammunition in two hours.

It is noteworthy that today's training focused on checking land defense forces' island defense capabilities.

It is said that the defense of islands such as the Senkaku Islands, which are in dispute with China, was assumed, but according to the view, it was enough to give an impression to respond to the training of Dokdo by our military.
