Ved Malik urges India to monitor China-Pakistan drills in Tibet, Xinjiang

Former Indian Army chief General Ved Malik has called for continuous Indian surveillance of China-Pakistan military exercises in Tibet and Xinjiang, citing the joint drill Karakoram-2026 held in October in Xinjiang. He said the exercise involved drones, long-range sniping and joint command procedures, with most equipment supplied by China. China's defence ministry said the training, which concluded on October 22 in Korla, focused on high-altitude counter-terrorism operations.
