Russia's Defence ministry publishes video footage apparently showing the launch of a Kalibr cruise missile from a submarine in the Sea of Japan, targeting a land-based target. The video was published after the announcement of huge naval drills in the Atlantic, Arctic, Pacific and Mediterranean this month and February, at a time of heightened tensions with Western nations. The war games will involve "more than 140 warships and support vessels, more than 60 aircraft, 1,000 pieces of military equipment, and about 10,000 servicemen," the defence ministry said in a statement carried by Russian news agencies.

The Russian Defence ministry releases footage of two of its Tu-22M3 long-range bombers, saying they are flying over Belarus as part of longstanding efforts at military integration. Belarus accused earlier the EU of "provoking" a migrant stand-off on its border with Poland and said Minsk was seeking a "joint response" to the crisis with Russia. IMAGES
Heavy missile strikes by Kremlin's forces have killed at least 34 and wounded dozens in the last three days, Ukrainian authorities say.
