Canada is monitoring Russian naval ships in Cuba with a surveillance plane and Royal Canadian Navy frigate, according to a statement.
The Canadian military is monitoring the Russian navy vessels, including a nuclear-powered submarine, visiting Cuba.
“The Canadian Armed Forces are tracking the movements and activities of the Russian naval flotilla,” the Department of National Defence told Global News in a statement.
A spokesperson said a Royal Canadian Air Force CP-140 Aurora plane and HMCS Ville de Québec “have been observing the Russian flotilla’s activities.”
The Russian submarine and navy frigate sailed into Havana’s harbour on Wednesday, joining a tugboat and fuel ship that had already arrived.
The visit is widely seen as a Kremlin show of force with tensions rising over the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The flotilla arrived after conducting “high-precision missile weapons” training in the Atlantic Ocean, Russia’s defence ministry told Reuters.
The submarine and frigate carry hypersonic, cruise and anti-ship missiles, the Kremlin also said.
The Cuban and U.S. governments said the fleet is not carrying nuclear weapons.
