In the heart of Lebanon, Kazakhstan's peacekeeping forces have been making a significant impact during the international RITEX exercises. The 4th Composite Peacekeeping Platoon, under the command of Zhanaт Birbalanov, was mobilized at 5:45 AM from base 4.3 and quickly took their positions upon arrival, starting to monitor the Blue Line.

One of the most notable moments came when a scenario involving the discovery of a homemade explosive device near the Kazakh-Indian UN base arose. The quick reaction of the Kazakh peacekeepers, who dispatched a 15-person group along the Blue Line, was commendable. Their swift actions led to the quick neutralization of the device, showcasing their ability to handle critical situations with precision.

Their first aid skills were also specifically noted during the exercises, with the peacekeepers displaying their well-rehearsed abilities in this area. The combat readiness of Kazakhstan's peacekeeping forces was highly praised by mission headquarters, with Almaty.tv reporting the praise.

The RITEX exercises involve all battalion, sector, and UNIFIL reserves. The Kazakh peacekeeping platoon's actions during these exercises were carried out in accordance with their assigned tasks, ensuring the smooth running of the event. The quick reaction group arrived safely on time, as per the scheduled exercises, demonstrating their preparedness and professionalism.

Overall, the Kazakh peacekeepers have proven their worth during the RITEX exercises, displaying their ability to handle various critical situations and demonstrating excellent coordination and interoperability with other UN units. Their first aid skills and combat readiness have been highly commended, making a significant contribution to the success of the RITEX exercises.
