Russian warships conduct Atlantic drills en route to Cuba. New hypersonic missiles are on board

Russian warships conducted drills in the Atlantic, the military said Tuesday, as they were heading to visit Cuba, part of Moscow’s efforts to project power amid the tensions with the West over Ukraine.

The Russian Defense Ministry said the Admiral Gorshkov frigate and the Kazan nuclear-powered submarine conducted the exercise that was intended to simulate a missile strike on a group of enemy ships.

The ministry said the drills involved computer simulation of an attack on sea targets more than 600 kilometers (over 320 nautical miles) away.

The Admiral Gorshkov is armed with new Zircon hypersonic missiles . The weapon has been designed to arm Russian cruisers, frigates and submarines and could be used against both enemy ships and ground targets.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has touted Zircon as a potent weapon capable of penetrating any existing anti-missile defenses by flying nine times faster than the speed of sound at a range of more than 1,000 kilometers (over 620 miles).

The Admiral Gorshkov and the Kazan are accompanied by two support vessels on their visit to Havana, which Cuban officials said reflected “historically friendly relations” between Russia and Cuba.

The Cuban Foreign Ministry said the Russian warships will be in Havana between Wednesday and June 17, noting that none will carry nuclear weapons and assuring their presence “does not represent a threat to the region.”

The Cuban statement followed a U.S. announcement that Washington had been tracking Russian warships and aircraft that were expected to arrive in the Caribbean for a military exercise.

It’s not the first time Russia has sent its warships to the Caribbean, but this week’s visit follows Putin’s warning that Moscow could respond to Ukraine’s Western allies allowing Kyiv to use their weapons to strike targets in Russia by giving similar weapons to adversaries of the West worldwide.

Ukraine war latest: Huge explosion reported in Russian city - as Putin 'sacks four defence ministers'

A total of 78 nations call for the "territorial integrity" of Ukraine to be the basis for any peace agreement to end Russia's two-year war. Meanwhile, there's been a big escalation in fighting in the Kharkiv region. Listen to our Daily podcast on the situation in Ukraine as you scroll.

That's all of our live coverage on the conflict for now. 

We'll bring you any major developments overnight, and we'll be back with our regular updates in the morning. 

Earlier today we told you about a Russian missile attack on Ukraine's east central Poltava region. 

Initially, reports had suggested nine people were injured in the strike, but the regional governor has now confirmed 22 people suffered injuries. 

Three children were among the wounded, Filip Pronin said. 

Houses and power lines were also damaged, causing electricity to be knocked out for more than 55,000 customers. 

Ukraine's prosecutor general's office said the attack was carried out with an X-59 cruise missile.

The US has expressed concern over the "deepening relationship" between Russia and North Korea, the White House has said. 

Spokesman John Kirby said the US was "troubled" by the ties between the two countries. 

It comes after both nations confirmed Russian President Vladimir Putin will visit North Korea for the first time in 24 years tomorrow. 

Mr Kirby said the visit appeared to be part of a post-election "charm offensive" by Mr Putin. 

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un extended an invitation to Mr Putin during a visit to Russia's Far East last September.

Russia's foreign policy adviser Yuri Ushakov said the two leaders may sign a partnership agreement during the visit that would include security issues. 

Canada has decided to hold off on sending military trainers to Ukraine, its defence minister has said. 

Speaking to reporters after a NATO summit, Bill Blair said the circumstances for such a move were "not right" at the moment. 

"There was discussion of a NATO mission to enhance the training.  At the present time, the circumstances are not right to deploy - in my view - the Canadian trainers in Ukraine," he said.

"There is, I think, quite an understandable concern about expanding a training mission into Ukraine at the current time."

Canada has helped prepare more than 40,000 Ukrainian soldiers since 2015, but decided to pull its training contingent out of western Ukraine just before the war started. 

The White House has also said it was not planning to send US military trainers to Ukraine. 

Ukrainian police officers, from a unit known as "white angels", have rescued six people from two villages today.

The country's national police force said four civilians were evacuated from Vozdvizhenka, near Bakhmut, and two were rescued from Vovche, in Lviv. 

"The front approached these villages almost at close range. The enemy is shooting at the houses," it said in a statement. 

"While the evacuation continued, the Russians covered the surroundings with fire, so the crew overcame especially dangerous sections of the road at maximum speed." 

It said the people evacuated from Vozdvizhenka were a family who had found "three shells were fired at their garden" overnight. 

"The policemen helped the man and three women to leave, the oldest of whom is 75 years old and has limited mobility," it added. 

"There was also room in the armoured car for all domestic animals - chickens, ducks and rabbits."

In Vovche, it said a man and a woman called for help after a Russian bomb hit their house.

It said some residents remain in both villages, and urged them to evacuate.

A record number of NATO countries are expected to hit the military alliance's defence spending target this year, its secretary general has said. 

In total, more than 20 NATO allies will spend at least 2% of their GDP on defence, Jens Stoltenberg said. 

The estimated figure marks a near-fourfold increase from 2021 among the 32 members. 

Only six nations were meeting the goal that year, before the war in Ukraine started.

The surge in spending reflects the worries of Western allies about the conflict. 

Mr Stoltenberg made the comment during a visit to Washington, where he is laying the groundwork for what is expected to be a pivotal summit of NATO next month.

The mutual defence alliance has grown in strength and size since Russia's invasion of Ukraine two years ago, with both Sweden and Finland joining.

It comes after US President Joe Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a 10-year bilateral security agreement, seen as "supporting a bridge to Ukraine's eventual membership in the NATO alliance" last week.

Away from the fighting, Ukraine has played Romania today in their first game of the Euros 2024. 

Fans packed out the stadium in Munich, Germany, to watch the match and soldiers managed to tune in as well - although they were likely disappointed by the 3-0 loss. 

Reuters captured these photos of Ukrainian servicemen watching the game near the frontline in the eastern Donetsk region. 

A Ukrainian military unit has released a video claiming to show its men using a "vile weapon" - the SPG -9. 

The clip, which has not been verified by Sky News, purports to show the soldiers from the Azov Regiment firing the recoilless gun in the Serebryansky forest in Luhansk. 

The regiment described the weapon as a "silent tool for eliminating occupiers". 

"Their effectiveness infuriates the enemy. Bombs explode around them and the forest burns. The Russians try to destroy them at any cost. But SPG operators continue to eliminate occupiers every day and night," the caption of the video reads. 

The Azov Regiment, which has far-right and ultra-nationalist roots, is part of Ukraine's National Guard and evolved out of a battalion that was formed in 2014. 

It fought against Russian-backed separatists who carved out breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine.

Last week, the US cleared the way for the unit to use American weapons. 

US law bars foreign security forces from US military assistance if they have committed gross violations of human rights, but a review cleared the unit for US funds, the State Department said.

The unit said Western weapons would improve the combat  capabilities of their fighters and save lives. 

Russian navy vessels have left Cuba's capital today, the state run news agency RIA has reported. 

A warship and a nuclear-powered submarine arrived in Havana last week and were expected to depart today. 

While their arrival wasn't seen as a threat by the West, the move was considered a Russian show of force amid heightened tensions due to the Ukraine war. 

Four Ukrainian drones were allegedly downed during an attack on Russia's Novolipetsk Metallurgical Plant today.

Igor Artamonov, the governor of Lipetsk Oblast, claimed one drone had been "suppressed" while another had been shot down "over the industrial territory of Lipetsk".

The factory, which produces civilian products, has continued to operate as normal, according to owners Novolipetsk Steel.

Lipetsk sits around 250 miles into Russia's mainland.

Product Specs

Customer reviews.

I love the 4" Mini Magnetic set! It's beautifully made. The magnetic pieces have a classic shape, stick firmly, and you can identify them easily even though they are small. The board has a rich wood tone.

Here's how I personalized my set for traveling on a plane.

I initially bought the 8" Play-Keeper Magnetic Chess Set with the intention of using it on vacation to set up positions from a book, and being able to put it away with the position set up when the flight attendant came with snacks. However, it took up most of the room in my satchel and so was not practical to travel with, so I use this set at home. It's also a beautiful set. The 4" set looks identical to the 8" set, only scaled down.

I was inspired by seeing the Drueke Magnetic Set in your video of travel sets and bought the 4" Mini Magnetic Wood Travel Chess Set which is the perfect size, but you can't put it away with a position set up. To make it a "play-keeper", I bought a 6.3" x 4.33" x 1.38" metal tin box from Amazon and printed and taped a paper board inside it, and it's perfect! The box also gives you room to secure the captured pieces. It can be improved by using a slightly taller box that would accommodate the beautiful wooden board plus the height of the king. I attached pictures of the set in the tin box.

Thank you for your obvious passion for chess and making high quality sets available at reasonable prices.

Our grand nephew turned 7 and was so excited to receive the mini chess set. It is the perfect size for travel and he has taken it on the road already! He loves chess and is a member of the school chess club. He learned to play from his grandfather a few years ago. And his parents are so thrilled that replacement parts are available- should they be needed.!

The travel chess set is a hit! My husband loves it.

It does what I hoped it would. It is very attractive and would serve for play in a pinch. The pieces are a little too small to be truly functional for my meaty fingers. The magnets are strong enough to easily hold the pieces in place for gentle movements of the board but would not keep a position secure long term.

Growing up, we had a small (similar in size to this one) peg set we backpacked with. 60 years later, I've been looking for a similar lightweight small set that held the pieces when not in use and packed into a compact package. This set meets all of our requirements and is a quality product. It's great that it's finally back in stock.
