Unnamed Russian defense officials told news agencies on Friday that three warships, with 360 marines aboard, have been deployed to the Syrian port of Tartus and will arrive within several days.
The port is not large enough to accommodate all the landing vessels, so two of them will remain offshore and the third will drop anchor, an official told Interfax, on condition of anonymity.
"Our ships will enter Tartus to replenish their material supplies," a General Staff source was quoted as saying by the ITAR-TASS news agency.
The ships, now in the Mediterranean Sea, are expected to stay for
several days and deliver water and food to the small Russian naval base there, then return to the Black Sea port of Novorossisk.
The official did not say whether the marines would remain in Syria.
