During the Security Belt-2025 joint exercise, the crews will practice attacks on maritime targets, visit operations, boarding, search and seizure, damage control, and search and rescue operations.

The maneuvers, the fifth to be held since 2019, aim to deepen mutual trust and cooperation among the participating countries.
