Moscow: Russia and China carried out joint artillery firing at a sea target as part of the "North. Interaction-2023" naval exercises organized by Beijing in the Sea of Japan, the Russian Pacific Fleet said on Saturday.
"During the joint naval exercise 'North/Interaction-2023', a joint detachment of ships performed artillery firing at a sea target simulating a surface vessel of a theoretical enemy," the statement read.
The Russian ships fired at the target at a range of over 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) using 100-mm A-190 and AK-100 artillery systems, while the Chinese side fired from 130-mm H/PJ-38 naval guns and 76-mm dual-purpose guns.
The drills also practiced searching, escorting and ousting an unidentified submarine.
The joint Russian-Chinese "North. Interaction-2023" naval drills are taking place from July 20-23 in the Sea of Japan.
