Russia’s Black Sea Fleet holds drills to counter underwater sabotage after Crimea attack
Russia`s Black Sea Fleet command has announced three-day anti-sabotage drills to counter potential underwater attacks on naval installations. This comes after the Russian security service said it foiled a terrorist attack on Crimea from Ukrainian territory, RT reports.
The training, conducted as part of broader military drills named Kavkaz-2016, “will repel an attack of underwater saboteurs from the sea on the Black Sea Fleet`s home base,” the fleet’s command said in a media statement.

More than 10 warships, MI-8 and Ka-27PS helicopters are taking part in the training. The crews of the ships will perform counterterrorist activities, minesweeping and search and rescue operations out at sea. They will also rehearse operating with terrestrial navigation aids disabled, using hydrographical services for temporary navigation references.
