A nuclear-powered submarine named Kazan is among the Russian vessels expected to remain through the weekend for a military drill in the Caribbean.

A US intelligence officer told CBS, BBC’s North American partner, that the sub is not carrying nuclear weapons – despite its use of nuclear energy.

Cuba’s Foreign Ministry identified the other Russian ships as the frigate Admiral Gorshkov, the fleet oil tanker Pashin and the salvage tug Nikolai Chiker. (BBC)
