Moscow, October 14 (KCNA) -- Two "Ty-95MC" strategic bombers of the Russian Air Force for long-range patrol performed their duties under their plan to patrol the air over neutral waters of the Arctic Ocean on Tuesday.

They acquired flying skill in the air over waters where it is hard to judge the direction during their about 17 hours-long patrol.

A spokesman for the Air Force, clarifying this on Wednesday, said its planes performed their patrol duties without intruding into the borders of other countries, strictly abiding by the international law for the use of space over the neutral waters.
