Forces taking part in the Center-2026 military exercise carried out a live-fire drill against a naval target, according to TASS.
Under the scenario used for the exercise, a simulated enemy force attempted to seize a section of coastline before launching a broader offensive, which the participating units were tasked with repelling.
TASS's report did not specify which branches of the armed forces took part in the live-fire portion of the drill or the type of weaponry used against the naval target.
Center-2026 is part of a recurring series of large-scale Russian military exercises that periodically rotate through different strategic themes and regions.
No details were given on casualties, since the exercise involved simulated rather than actual combat, nor was information provided on the exact location where the live-fire drill took place.
