The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) counterterrorism exercise is underway, with a focus on strengthening security cooperation among member states. The drill aims to enhance the ability to coordinate responses to regional terrorist threats.
According to the organizers, the exercise involves forces from multiple SCO member countries. Units will practice simulated scenarios related to counterterrorism, including intelligence sharing and combat coordination.
The SCO was founded in 2001 with the aim of promoting political, economic and security cooperation among member states. Counterterrorism exercises are regularly held to improve operational capabilities and build confidence among armed forces.
Specific details about the timing, location and number of participating forces have not been fully disclosed. Relevant parties said the exercise will continue in the coming days.
