Posted on 2026-03-19 07:04:14
The Army's Kinmen Defense Command is carrying out its "Taiwu Exercise" live-fire drills on the outlying island.
The first drill saw armored and artillery units firing live ammunition toward waters off Donggang on Lieyu Island.
Lieyu Island is located some 5-kilometers from the Chinese city of Xiamen.
Defense officials says troops from the Lieyu Garrison Battalion deployed standard-issue weapons to perform drills covering drone response, live-fire defense, near-shore defense and beach combat, as well as final protective fire.
The live-fire drill simulated combat scenarios in which real equipment and live troops were deployed in an environment where situations evolved continuously from gray zone threats to enemy landings.
