Taiwan has intensified its annual Han Kuang military exercises as concerns grow over a potential conflict with China. The drills included the deployment of Taiwan’s locally developed Tien-Kung III air defense systems, live-fire training by thousands of reservists, and simulations of protecting key infrastructure around Taipei. President Lai Ching-te participated in wartime contingency exercises, while troops practiced defending strategic locations such as the Danjiang Bridge.
