MOSCOW—Russia’s navy began planned exercises involving most of its fleet in the Arctic and Pacific oceans as well, and the the Baltic, and Caspian seas, the defense ministry said on Tuesday.

Russia is considered by most military analysts to have the world’s third most powerful navy after those of the United States and China, and Russia has a significant ballistic-missile nuclear submarine fleet.
