China and Russia have started joint naval drills in the waters near the Russia-North Korea border, local media reported.
The exercises, which began on Monday off Russia's southeastern port of Vladivostok, are the second part of China and Russia's 'Joint Sea-2017' programme that started in June.
The drills, which include submarine rescue and anti-submarine exercises, are not directly linked to increasing tensions over North Korea, China's state-owned Xinhua news agency reported.
The exercises are taking place in the Sea of Japan (East Sea) and, for the first time, the Okhotsk Sea.
