In the Mediterranean, the Russian squadron operates on an ongoing basis. It includes about ten warships and support vessels. In September, the Russian military reported two submarines performing missions in the Mediterranean Sea.

Earlier, Russian ships and submarines fired their Kalibr cruise missile attacks at the militants in Syria’s Idlib.
