Exercise KAZIND-2023, the Indian Army wrote on X (Former Twitter) that “the contingents of India & Kazakhstan at Otar, jointly practice the conduct of Counter Terrorism operations in a sub-conventional environment, sharing tactical drills & promoting best practices”.

Initially, KAZIND was first introduced in 2016 as "Exercise Prabal Dostyk," however, evolved into a company-level exercise centred on Counter-Terrorism operations in a non-traditional setting, under the mandate of the United Nations agreement.

These exercises were designed to improve the participants' coordination, resiliency, and skills that are essential for carrying out military operations in urban and semi-urban environments, according to the Indian Ministry of Defence.
