Taiwan Conducts Coastal Drill Simulating Defense Against Chinese Invasion

Taiwan’s armed forces carried out a coastal military exercise on Tuesday. The drill simulated repelling a large‑scale invasion from mainland China. Units practiced defensive maneuvers along the island’s shoreline. The exercise aimed to test readiness and coordination among naval and ground troops. Officials said the scenario reflects growing security concerns in the Taiwan Strait. The drill involved the use of simulated artillery and air support. Taiwan’s government reiterated its commitment to self‑defence. Regional analysts will watch how the exercise influences cross‑strait tensions.
