Two Russian Northern Fleet warships docked at a port in Venezuela after exercises in the Atlantic Ocean, the Northern Fleet said on Tuesday. The stopover will last several days. Afterward, the seamen of the Northern Fleet will continue to carry out their mission in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean," the fleet said.

During the port call, the crews of the Russian ships will be given an opportunity to rest after the long-distance voyage and see local sights. The main tasks of the voyage include the demonstration of the flag and ensuring naval presence in remote parts of oceans that are operationally important.
