Japan issued a tsunami warning for its territory, including Dokdo, following a strong earthquake in the Kamchatka Peninsula of Russia.
On 30th at around 8:25 a.m., a magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck off the coast near the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia. In response, the Japan Meteorological Agency issued tsunami warnings and advisories along the Pacific coastline from Hokkaido to Wakayama Prefecture.
The Japan Meteorological Agency indicated areas on the map in yellow when the expected tsunami height was less than 1 meter and in light blue when it was less than 0.2 meters. On this map, Dokdo, which is our territory, was marked in light blue. The tsunami advisory map published on the tsunami warning notification webpage operated by the Japan Meteorological Agency labeled Dokdo as part of Japanese territory.
The Japan Meteorological Agency also labeled Dokdo as 'Takeshima' (竹島·the name claimed by Japan for Dokdo). It added a note that it was 'Oki Island,' suggesting it belonged to the Shimane Prefecture Oki Islands. In contrast, Ulleungdo next to Dokdo was not given such a label, distinguishing it.
The Japan Meteorological Agency also indicated Dokdo as 'Takeshima' on another map. This map even drew a dotted line between Ulleungdo and Dokdo. The Japan Meteorological Agency went so far as to label the East Sea as 'Sea of Japan' (the name claimed by Japan for the East Sea) on this map.
The Japan Meteorological Agency, an agency under the Japanese government, has consistently labeled Dokdo as part of its territory in various weather forecasts. When a magnitude 7.6 earthquake occurred in Japan last January and a tsunami warning was issued, the Japan Meteorological Agency included Dokdo as part of the tsunami warning and advisory area. Similarly, when a magnitude 6.4 earthquake occurred off the west coast of the Noto Peninsula in Ishikawa Prefecture last November, Dokdo was also included in Japan's tsunami advisory area.
Our Ministry of Foreign Affairs protested to Japan about this issue last January and demanded rectification, but the problem persists.
