The first batch of Chinese troops has arrived at a Russian military base for a joint anti-terrorism drill. The exercise is sponsored by the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.

Six transport planes took off from an airport in Western China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region early on Tuesday. After a four hour journey covering almost 3,000 kilometers, 287 servicemen with military equipment and supplies arrived at their destination in Russia.
