MOSCOW, Aug 19 (Reuters) - Russia's navy said on Tuesday it had cancelled a September visit by a United States navy frigate to a port in Russia's Far Eastern region of Kamchatka, RIA news agency reported.

The United States last week pulled out of a planned four-nation naval exercise with Russia in the Pacific because of Russia's intervention in U.S. ally Georgia. (Reporting by Guy Faulconbridge, editing by Michael Stott)
