Two more NATO warships have entered the Black Sea to take part in the international drill Sea Breeze 2014, reports ITAR-TASS, quoting a diplomatic source.
Canada’s frigate Toronto and Spain’s frigate Almirante Juan de Borbon passed through the Bosphorus on Saturday and joined the French Navy Ship Commandant Birot and the US destroyer Ross who entered the Black Sea on September 3.
“The NATO ships’ crews will conduct the Sea Breeze exercises from September 8 to September 10. It is expected that along with the four abovementioned ships the drills will involve Turkey’s frigate Oruc Reis, Romania’s frigate Regele Ferdinand and Georgia’s patrol boat Sukhumi,” the source added. “While staying in the Black Sea, the alliance’s warship may call at the ports of Constanta (Romania) and Odessa (Ukraine).”
The Sea Breeze naval exercise usually takes place in July, but was postponed due to bad weather.
