The Russian Defense Ministry announced that four Chinese warships and a supply vessel joined Russian vessels in Peter the Great Bay , south of Vladivostok, for exercises "to defend maritime communications and areas of maritime economic activity".

According to the Russian ministry , these exercises are part of much wider exercises with the participation of more than 400 Russian warships, submarines and support vessels , which will be held until September 16 in the Pacific Ocean and the Arctic Ocean, as well as in the Mediterranean Sea, the Baltic Sea and the Caspian Sea.
