Japanese officials express concern after a Chinese naval destroyer conducts live-fire drills near Japan’s remote island of Okinotori in the Pacific Ocean.

The sources do not describe the weapons used, any injuries or damage, or whether any Japanese vessels were affected. Overall, the coverage focuses on Japan’s decision to formally raise safety concerns following the drills, while details about the Chinese Navy’s intent and any response are not provided in the excerpts.
