| Video Discription | (20 May 2017) Japan's Coast Guard on Saturday resumed its annual drills in Tokyo Bay after a five-year hiatus due to increased surveillance needs around Japanese territorial waters. Fifteen vessels and four aircraft took part in exercises that began with maritime rescue operations under a mock-scenario that a chemical tanker had caught fire, followed by exercises for anti-extremist operations. Transport minister Keiichi Ishii on Saturday said Japan faces an increasingly "severe" security environment faced with territorial disputes and threats from North Korean missiles. Coast guard drills along with fleet reviews were held regularly until 2012, when the Japanese government nationalised disputed islets called the Senkaku Islands in Japanese and Diaoyu in Chinese, raising tension between the two nations. According to the coast guard, Chinese vessels entered Japanese territorial waters 188 times since September 2012. To deal with these vessels, the coast guard has amplified its monitoring and surveillance measures and added new vessels to its fleet. This year, the coast guard held limited exercises aimed at enhancing public understanding of their operations and invited over 2,000 members of the public to observe the drills.
