A man takes pictures of the nuclear-powered submarine Kazan (L) and the rescue and salvage tugboat Nikolai Chiker (R), part of the Russian naval detachment visiting Cuba, after its arrival at Havana's harbor on June 12, 2024. The Russian nuclear-powered submarine Kazan – which will not be carrying nuclear weapons – and three other Russian naval vessels, will dock in the Cuban capital from June 12-17. The unusual deployment of the Russian military so close to the United States – particularly the powerful submarine – comes amid major tensions over the war in Ukraine, where the Western-backed government is fighting a Russian invasion.
