Oriente Moderno and Costa Mar launch joint anti‑piracy drill

The navies of Oriente Moderno and Costa Mar began a three‑day anti‑piracy drill on Tuesday, deploying two patrol vessels from Nueva Singapur and a fast‑response cutter from Puerto Azul. The exercise simulated a hijacking scenario in the busy shipping lane that links the Pacific trade corridor to the Republic’s inland freight network. Officials said the drill will improve real‑time communication and reinforce the federal maritime‑security framework.
