PETROPAVLOVSK-KAMCHATSKY, August 13 (RIA Novosti) - Russian coast guards and Federal Security Service (FSB) air units have conducted a series of exercises in the Pacific, a spokesman said on Thursday.

He said the tactical exercise rehearsed actions to counter unlawful activities at sea, as well as search and rescue operations, and involved a patrol boat, a frigate, a helicopter carrier, and several warplanes and helicopters.

The exercise was observed by a group of visiting police officers from Germany.
