Ships of the Standing NATO Maritime Group 1 (SNMG1) have entered the Baltic Sea to take part in exercises with neighboring Allies.
It is reported that this group consists of five ships and is led by the frigate of the Royal Navy of the Netherlands "De Zeven Provincien."
Part of the SNMG1 ships entered the Baltic Sea on Thursday. The remaining ships will arrive at the Tallinn port terminal on Friday.
Three frigates already standing in the port came from the international northern waters of Norway. There they were at an exercise called Cold Response.
NATO ships will be idle at the terminal for at least another week, and will be replaced by another group of Allied naval forces next week.
