Japan has introduced new sanctions targeting Russian companies and individuals, according to a report by TASS.
For the first time, the restrictive measures include 35 ships that Tokyo believes may be associated with Russia, the report said.
The report did not name the specific companies or individuals affected by the sanctions, nor did it detail the nature of the restrictions, such as asset freezes, travel bans or trade limitations.
Japan has joined other countries in imposing sanctions on Russia-linked targets in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, periodically expanding the scope of its measures to include new categories of individuals, entities and, in this case, vessels.
The inclusion of ships in the latest round of sanctions suggests a focus on maritime activity that Tokyo links to Russia, though the report did not specify whether the vessels were allegedly involved in oil shipments, sanctions evasion, or other activity.
No response from Russian officials to the new sanctions was included in the available report.
