* Russia will carry out wide-ranging drills tomorrow that will involve live-firing ballistic and cruise missiles

* Drill, overseen by Putin himself, will test 'reliability of weapons of strategic nuclear and non-nuclear forces'

Russia will hold a major nuclear drill tomorrow involving live-fire exercises of ballistic and cruise missiles including around Crimea and the Black Sea, the Kremlin has announced. 

The exercise, which will be overseen by Vladimir Putin himself, will involve Russia's aerospace forces, its strategic missile command, Northern and Black Sea fleets and the Southern Military District - which covers Crimea and part of the border close to rebel-held areas in Ukraine. 

It is designed to test the 'readiness' of commanders and troops as well as 'the reliability of weapons of strategic nuclear and non-nuclear forces' and will involve the launch of 'ballistic and cruise missiles', Moscow's defence ministry said today.
