Caspian 2026 Exercise Brings Together Rescuers From Caspian Sea Nations
A joint emergency response drill involving 300 personnel and more than 70 vehicles aimed to foster cooperation among rescue services from countries bordering the Caspian Sea, TASS reported.
An international emergency response exercise called Caspian 2026 has enabled rescue workers from countries bordering the Caspian Sea to establish professional contacts, according to a report by Russian state news agency TASS.
The exercise involved approximately 300 rescue workers, TASS reported, citing organizers. More than 70 pieces of specialized equipment were deployed during the drill, including aircraft and watercraft, according to the report.
TASS did not specify the exact dates, location, or the full list of participating countries in its report. The agency also did not detail the specific scenarios simulated during the exercise or name the organizing bodies overseeing the drill.
Exercises of this kind typically aim to test coordination between national emergency services in responding to incidents such as maritime accidents, search-and-rescue operations, or natural disasters that could affect the shared waters of the Caspian Sea, which borders Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Iran, and Azerbaijan.
Further details about the outcomes of the Caspian 2026 exercise, including any specific agreements or follow-up measures resulting from the drill, were not immediately available.
