Russian warships in English Channel ‘to conduct anti-aircraft and anti-submarine military drills’

Russian warships have entered the English Channel and are planning to conduct military drills near the coast of Britain, it has been reported.

 

The Russian Defence Ministry’s officials were quoted by the Interfax news agency as saying the ships belonged to Russia’s Northern Fleet, which sparked controversy with a similar move last November.

 

According to the official, the ships will pass through the Channel to hold anti-aircraft and anti-submarine defence drills in the northern Atlantic.
