Missile launches took place during the Umka-2022 integrated Arctic expedition.

“Nuclear submarine cruisers with Omsk and Novosibirsk cruise missiles of the Pacific Fleet, while on the surface, launched Granit and Onyx anti-ship cruise missiles from the Chukchi Sea,” the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement.
