In October 2026, several multinational naval exercises were conducted in the Eastern Mediterranean and Aegean regions to enhance maritime security and operational cooperation.

The EUNOMIA 7-26 exercise, involving Greece, Cyprus, France, and Italy under the Coordinated Quad Initiative, concluded on October 22. This exercise focused on complex tasks such as maritime interdiction, anti-submarine warfare, air defense, and the protection of hydrocarbon drilling platforms.

Simultaneously, the Aegean Seal 26-I exercise, organized by the Hellenic Navy, took place in the southern Euboean Gulf and the Saronic Gulf. This drill involved participants from Estonia, the United States, Spain, Italy, and Poland.
