KUBINKA (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 26th August, 2021) Russia has relocated the main and auxiliary forces of its Caspian Flotilla from Astrakhan to Kaspiysk in the southern Republic of Dagestan, Deputy Defense Minister Timur Ivanov said on Thursday.
"At first, all auxiliary ships were relocated. Now, all main vessels [have been relocated]," Ivanov said during a live broadcast on the Zvezda tv channel.
