China and Russia to hold naval drills for eight days in the South China Sea off southern China's Guangdong province starting from Monday.
The Chinese navy said in a statement on Sunday on its official microblog that the "Joint Sea-2016" drill will feature surface ships, submarines, fixed-wing aircraft, ship-borne helicopters and marines.
The statement said both the nations will carry out defence, rescue and anti-submarine operations, as well as "island seizing" and other activities.
The marines will participate in live-fire drills, island defence and landing operations. These operations will be the largest operation ever taken together by the two countries' navies, the statement added.
