Russian authorities say they have named two small, previously unnamed islands near the Kuril Islands, called the Northern Territories by the Japanese. Russian media said the two islands are 200 meters northeast of Shikotan Island. The islands have been named after two commanders of the landing battle on the Kuril Islands in 1945. The flags of Russia and Sakhalin are currently flying over the islands. Russia and Japan both claimed sovereignty over the territory. The dispute has prevented them from signing a peace treaty.
