“Next week NATO will hold its annual nuclear exercise Steadfast Noon. This is a routine training event that happens every October, this year training will take place over Italy, Croatia and the Mediterranean Sea,” Stoltenberg told a press conference.
The Steadfast Noon exercise takes place at the same time every year.
Last year's exercise involved 14 countries and up to 60 aircraft, including fourth- and fifth-generation fighters, reconnaissance aircraft and tankers.
