Russian frigate heads to Mediterranean on Syria mission

SEVASTOPOL -- The Russian frigate Admiral Grigorovich left the port of Sevastopol in Crimea on Monday for the Mediterranean where it will join the country's naval forces deployed near the Syrian coast, a naval official said.

 

A Reuters witness saw the ship leaving its moorings in the naval port of Sevastopol.

 

"It (the frigate) will be operating as part of the permanent Russian Navy force in the Mediterranean," the Interfax news agency quoted the navy's Captain Vyacheclav Truhachev, a spokesman for the Black Sea fleet, as saying.
