Taiwan to Merge War Games and Urban Survival in Drills
Taiwan is getting ready for a possible attack.
They are having a big practice session called the Han Kuang exercise to see how ready they are.
This year, it's a bit different.
They're mixing military practice with things regular people would do in a war, like hiding from bombs.
The drills will be long and will include air raid warnings and practice evacuations to make sure everyone knows what to do.
This is to show that they are prepared for anything, and it involves both the military and the people.
Taiwan is holding its largest annual military exercise, Han Kuang, next week.
The exercise will combine conventional war games with urban survival drills.
The drills aim to prepare for a potential invasion by China.
The 41st Han Kuang exercise will last 10 days with live-fire conditions.
Civil defense drills will include air-raid warnings and mass evacuations.
