Russia's Pacific Fleet will hold exercises between 18-28 June in the waters of the Pacific Ocean, the Sea of Japan an the Sea of Okhotsk, the Tass state news agency has said.
The report says the exercises will include approximately 40 ships and vessels. Some 20 naval aircraft and helicopters, including anti-submarine and search and recue helicopters, will also be in the manoeuvres.
Yesterday, Russian navy vessels left Cuba after arriving in the Havana harbour in a move seen by many as a Russian show of force.
