Russian authorities will pay more attention to security of the country, hightening activity of Russia’s nuclear submarines around the world.

KUBINKA (Moscow Region) (Sputnik) – Heightened activity of Russia’s nuclear submarines around the world are due to the necessity to deter security threats aimed at Russia, Naval Commander Viktor Chirkov said Wednesday.

"Heightened intensity of naval service in different regions of the world’s oceans by [Russian] nuclear submarines is justified by the necessity to guarantee the deterrence of security threats against Russia," Chirkov said.
