  "account": "Pakistan's special forces took part in the multinational military exercise Eternal Brotherhood-5, which took place in Uzbekistan from September 13 to 25, 2026, according to state-run PTV. The exercise also involved forces from Turkey, Azerbaijan, and Uzbekistan, with Kazakhstan attending as an observer country. The primary objective of the joint training was to strengthen cooperation, communication, and professional capabilities among the special forces, as reported by PTV. The participating nations exchanged insights on modern operations, combat strategies, and solutions to security challenges. PTV noted that Eternal Brotherhood-5 symbolizes the deepening defense and security cooperation, mutual trust, and military relations between the participating countries. Pakistan regularly engages in joint training exercises with friendly nations; previous examples include a two-week-long military exercise with Egypt in April focused on counter-terrorism, and the 13th Pakistan-US bilateral joint military exercise 'Inspired Gambit 2026' in January, also centered on counter-terrorism. In October 2025, Pakistan and Kazakhstan conducted a two-week joint counter-terrorism training exercise to bolster military-to-military relations. February saw Pakistan and Uzbekistan reaffirm their commitment to continued participation in joint military exercises and collaborative efforts in professional development and exchange of best practices. Most recently, Pakistan, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia agreed to establish a mechanism for joint military training under a trilateral defense pact.",
