Over 1000 Abkhaz and Russian militaries master coastal defence skills
At the Nagvalou Training Range, the personnel of the Southern Military District (SMD) in Abkhazia and servicemen of the Abkhaz Ministry of Defence (MoD) have repulsed the conditional attack of the Marine Corps assault on the Black Sea coast.
