Operation Killer Whale is the codename given to the invasion of the Soviet Union by the Imperial Japanese Empire during World War II. The operation called for several divisions of Japanese soldiers attacking Siberia, with the intention of occupying Vladivostok. The Soviets fought back furiously, and after months of isolated uprisings in the occupied zones, the Soviets launched a bloody counteroffensive, which later led to the liberation of occupied Siberia.
Soon after the battle, the Soviet-Japanese War began.
