Taiwan holds another military drill, firing howitzers and target flares after Beijing ended its largest-ever military exercises around the island
Taiwan held a similar drill on Tuesday in Pingtung and both included the deployments of hundreds of troops, says military.
"We have two goals for the drills, the first is to certify the proper condition of the artillery and their maintenance condition and the second is to confirm the results of last year," Lou said, referring to annual drills. The military has played down their significance, saying they were already scheduled and were not in response to China's war games.'Preparing for war'
The latest exercise came after China's military indicated its own drills had come to an end on Wednesday, saying its forces "successfully completed various tasks" in the Taiwan Strait while vowing to continue patrolling its waters. "We are ready to create vast space for peaceful reunification, but we will leave no room for separatist activities in any form," it said in the paper.
