Russia Builds Op, Modernizes Military On Disputed Kuril Islands -- RT
The Russian Defense Ministry will modernize military settlements on the Kuril Islands and supply some 120 new combat vehicles by the end of the year. Russia’s sovereignty over four of the islands is disputed by Tokyo.
The islands have been a constant source of tension between Russia and Japan for decades. There are some 20,000 people living there at the moment, many of them Russian military and their families, who may see their living conditions improved over the next two years.

Those will be modern fully autonomous military settlements with a developed social infrastructure,” said Col. Gen. Sergey Surovikin, commander of the Russian eastern military district.
