Leaked Russian military documents from 2013-2014 reveal that Russia had prepared detailed target lists for potential strikes on Japan and South Korea in the event of a war in the Far East. The plans included 160 targets, encompassing both military and civilian infrastructure such as nuclear power plants, steelworks, and key transportation hubs like the Kanmon tunnel in Japan and the Pohang steelworks in South Korea.
