中ロ軍艦、伊豆諸島通過　共同パトロールか―防衛省

　防衛省は２７日、中国とロシアの軍艦計７隻が伊豆諸島を相次いで通過したと発表した。中ロが実施中とされる共同パトロールの一環とみられる。両国は連携した軍事活動を活発化させており、同省は警戒を強めている。
　同省によると、中国海軍のレンハイ級ミサイル駆逐艦など３隻は２６日夜、伊豆諸島の須美寿島と鳥島の間を西に進んだ。２７日昼ごろにはロシア海軍のウダロイ級駆逐艦など４隻が伊豆諸島の御蔵島と八丈島の間の接続水域を通り、南西方向に進んだ。海上自衛隊の護衛艦や哨戒機が警戒監視を続けている。（2022/09/27-23:05）

A total of seven Chinese and Russian warships sailed in between Japan's Izu islands in the Pacific Monday and Tuesday, a move believed to be part of the ongoing joint patrol activities by China and Russia, according to Japan's Defense Ministry.
   As the two nations have been stepping up joint military activities recently, the Japanese ministry is currently on high alert.
   According to the ministry's announcement on Tuesday, three Chinese navy ships, including a Nanchang-class destroyer, traveled west between the Izu islands of Sumisujima and Torishima on Monday night.
   Around noon Tuesday (3 a.m. GMT), four Russian navy vessels, including a Udaloy-class destroyer, passed through the contiguous zone around Japanese waters between the Izu islands of Mikurajima and Hachijojima and headed southwest.
   Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force is currently engaged in surveillance activities.
