Russia Arrests Japanese Reporter on Espionage Charges

Russia's FSB arrested Japanese journalist Imai Yuki on Sakhalin Island for alleged espionage, accusing him of gathering defense information for Japanese intelligence. He was transferred to Moscow, where a court ordered him held for nearly two months. The arrest heightens tensions over the disputed Kuril Islands and follows other foreign detentions since Russia's Ukraine invasion.
