Sirens sound, streets deserted as Taiwan simulates Chinese missile strike | ABS-CBN News
Sirens rang out, roads emptied and people were ordered to stay indoors in Taiwan's capital Taipei on Tuesday (July 23) during an annual air-raid exercise simulating a Chinese missile attack.
China, whose government views democratically governed Taiwan as its territory, has ramped up its military pressure over the past four years, including almost daily fighter jet flights into the skies around the island.
During the drill, police in Taipei directed vehicles to move to the side of roads and people already not inside were told to seek shelter. Some shops and restaurants pulled down shutters and turned off lights - steps aimed at reducing the risk of becoming a target in the event of a night-time attack.
The civil defense drills are taking place at the same time as Taiwan's yearly Han Kuang war games, though they have been curtailed due to the approach of Typhoon Gaemi.

The situation is a bit serious recently, so I think it's important to have this kind of action.
