MOSCOW (Sputnik) A detachment of Russian Navy missile ships has completed exercises in the Caspian Sea, involving a simulated enemy using weapons of mass destruction (WMD), the Russian Defense Ministry said on Tuesday.

The commanders selected a course to impede the simulated WMD strikes on the Russian ships, the ministry said.
