New Delhi, Oct 5 (UNI) The ninth edition of the India-Kazakhstan Joint Military Exercise KAZIND-2026 is underway at Oskemen in Kazakhstan, with troops from the two countries undertaking joint training aimed at enhancing combat skills, coordination and interoperability.
The exercise, being conducted from September 28 to October 11, provides an opportunity for the participating contingents to train together, exchange operational experiences and familiarise themselves with each other's tactics, techniques and procedures.
As part of the ongoing training, Indian and Kazakh troops participated in joint physical training and sporting activities aimed at enhancing physical fitness and strengthening team spirit.

The training programme included joint weapon handling and tactical drills, small arms live firing and combined combat exercises, with the focus on sharpening battlefield skills and developing greater coordination during integrated operations.
