Japan is involved in a diplomatic dispute with Russia over President Vladimir Putin's visit to Iturup Island, one of the southern Kuril Islands, which Japan claims as its own. The Japanese government expressed protest, prompting Russia to summon Japan's ambassador to the Foreign Ministry, though the ambassador initially failed to attend. Japan has also experienced natural disasters, including a magnitude 5.4 earthquake off its coast and deadly flooding in the Kanto region.
