Russian Federation \u00a0is to send an anti-submarine ship and a missile cruiser to the Mediterranean, according to Russian news agency Interfax.<\/h1>\n

An armed forces source reportedly said the planned deployment was in response to the “well-known situation” – a clear reference to the conflict in Syria.<\/p>\n

The navy has denied the deployment is linked to events in Syria and said it is part of a planned rotation of its ships in the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n

Russia is strongly against any military intervention in Syria, with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov believing it would seriously destabilise the region.<\/p>\n

The country has started to pull its citizens out of Syria as the likelihood of military action increases.<\/p>\n

The reports come after US President Barack Obama said any strike would be to “send a shot across the bow” to deter future chemical weapons attacks.<\/p>\n

He said the US had concluded that the Syrian government carried out the large-scale chemical weapons attack against civilians last week.<\/p>\n

President Obama said the US had examined evidence and did not believe the rebels possessed chemical weapons or the means to deliver them.<\/p>\n

But he added that the US had not yet made a firm decision about how to respond.<\/p>\n

United Nations weapons inspectors set out on Thursday morning for the Damascus suburbs in a third day of investigations.<\/p>\n

Last week’s alleged chemical attack is claimed to have killed 1,300 pepole.<\/p>\n

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has pleaded for all sides to hold off on any military strikes.<\/p>\n

He said his inspection team would soon finish its investigation, leaving Syria on Friday and report their findings to him the following day.<\/p>\n
