KUALA LUMPUR : The Malaysian army will carry out the Keris Strike 2025 exercise at several locations in Perak in collaboration with the US and Australian armies over 14 days from next Thursday.
A statement by the Malaysian army said the exercise will take place in areas covering Ipoh, Sungai Siput, Kuala Kangsar and Lenggong.
Held annually, the exercise aims at strengthening joint operational capabilities and deepening military ties with partner nations.
'It also enhances the Malaysian army's preparedness in responding to regional security threats,' the statement read.
It advised residents, particularly those in Ipoh and Kuala Kangsar, not be alarmed by the presence of foreign troops, movement of military vehicles and convoys or other military activities during the period.
