By IANS/RIA Novosti,

Vladivostok : The Russian and US navies will hold joint anti-terrorism exercises in late October near the Mariana Islands, east of the Philippine Sea, an official said.

The exercise will simulate Russian and US ships liberating a vessel seized by terrorists, Capt. (1st Rank) Roman Martov said.

The US Navy’s guided missile destroyer USS Fitzgerald, which will take part in the drills, left Vladivostok Tuesday after a four-day port visit.
