Joint Russian-Mongolian antiterrorism exercises have begun in the southern Siberian Republic of Buryatia, the Siberian Military District's press service said on Friday.
"About 200 Mongolian servicemen arrived to the camp. Slightly more than 60 people, mostly drivers, are still on their way," the press service said in a statement.
The drills, called Darkhan-3, will involve up to 1,000 Russian and Mongolian servicemen and 200 items of hardware. They will be held in three stages, with the active stage to begin on Sunday.
