Türkiye opens first trilateral war games with Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan

Türkiye, Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan opened their first trilateral military exercise on October 2, deploying more than 3,500 troops across Azerbaijan's Karabakh region, Nakhchivan and the Caspian Sea. The drills, named Power of Unity, rehearsed defence against drone swarms, cyberattacks and border incursions, and were watched by observers from Iran, Pakistan, Kyrgyzstan and Georgia.
