MOSCOW, May 21 (Reuters) – Russia delivered nuclear munitions to field storage facilities in Belarus as part of major nuclear drills, the Russian defence ministry said on Thursday.
“As part of the nuclear forces exercise, nuclear munitions were delivered to the field storage facilities of the missile brigade’s position area in the Republic of Belarus,” the ministry said.
Russia said the missile unit in Belarus was carrying out training to receive special munitions for the mobile Iskander-M tactical missile system, including loading munitions onto launch vehicles and secretly moving to a designated area for launch preparation.
