"The Ronald Reagan carrier strike group first operates in the South China Sea during its deployment in 2021," the press service of the US 7th Fleet quoted TASS as saying.

It is noted that US ships in this region are conducting "operations to ensure safety at sea."

Operations include air flights, warship maneuvers, and coordinated tactical training for surface and air units.

Earlier it was reported that a US Navy guided missile destroyer entered the Black Sea.
