INS Sahyadri departs Vladivostok after India-Russia naval exercise INDRA 2026

New Delhi, Oct 23 (UNI) Indian Navy warship, INS Sahyadri, departed Vladivostok, Russia, on October 20, following the successful completion of the bilateral naval exercise INDRA 2026, aimed at enhancing operational coordination and interoperability between the Indian Navy and the Russian Federation Navy (RuFN).
