Some websites and national press titles have relayed information according to which our Naval Forces’ submarines detected and chased a foreign submarine near the national territorial waters, during the combined naval exercise "RADAA 2021", carried out at the naval firing range of the Western Maritime Front - 2nd Military Region from 29th to 30th September 2021 and in which several floating units of our Naval Forces participated.

      In this regard, the Ministry of National Defence categorically denies all the information reported by these media and assures that the said naval exercise, carried out with great success by the crew of the submarine "Djurdjura", did not record any incident and even less the one mentioned by these media.

      Moreover, the Ministry of National Defence invites our national media in the future to contact its competent services to ensure the veracity of this kind of information before their publication in order to avoid misleading the public opinion.
