Russia is increasing its naval operations in the Pacific region, with plans to base additional nuclear submarines in the area by 2024, according to the state-linked Tass agency, N-World reports.
Tass did not say where the bases would be, but Russia has a naval base at Vladivostok, which has been in operation for more than 100 years. It also has an existing Pacific Fleet base that can host nuclear submarines on the Kamchatka Peninsula.
