Russia’s Pacific Fleet has started a week of naval drills involving more than 40 warships and 20 aircraft, Russian news agencies quoted the Defense Ministry as saying.
The maneuvers, scheduled to take place on June 3-10, will involve ships searching for the "submarines of a mock enemy" and "working out the organization of air defense for tactical groups of ships [to] perform combat training exercises on surface and air targets," the ministry said in a statement, according to the TASS news agency.
The exercises come as Russia's invasion of Ukraine entered its 100th day on June 3.
