Japanese fishing boats return home after Russian seizure

Photo taken Dec. 24, 2019, shows one of the five Japanese fishing boats that returned to the port city of Nemuro in eastern Hokkaido a week after they were seized by Russia in waters near Russian-held, Japan-claimed islands off Hokkaido. Russia released the boats earlier in the day after the crew paid a fine for violating regulations on the size of catch that Japanese vessels can take in the area. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
