The Pentagon has dispatched three Navy destroyers and maritime patrol aircraft to monitor a Russian flotilla conducting missile exercises near the Florida coast. The Russian fleet, including a frigate and nuclear-powered submarine, was observed within 30 miles of South Florida, prompting heightened US surveillance. The exercises, involving high-precision missile drills in the Atlantic, occurred as part of routine maneuvers but raised concerns due to the advanced capabilities of the Russian vessels. Pentagon officials reassured that the presence of Russian ships near US waters did not pose a direct threat, emphasizing ongoing monitoring and defensive measures.
