TOKYO, March 31 (Reuters) - Japan bans Russia-bound
exports of steel, aluminium and aircraft including drones in its
latest sanction against Moscow's invasion of Ukraine, the trade
ministry said on Friday.
The measure, which also prohibits Japanese entities from
exporting a wide variety of industrial items such as
construction machinery, ship engines, testing equipment and
optical devices to Russia, will go into effect on April 7, the
ministry said in a statement.
