Zakharova pointed out at a press conference held at the 11th Eastern Economic Forum that day that there are reports that Japan, the United States, and Australia plan to hold the "Eastern Shield" joint exercise on the island of Hokkaido and near the border with the Russian Federation from September 8 to 24. During the exercise, the U.S. land-based "Typhon" missile system that can be used to launch medium- and short-range missiles will be used.
