Taiwan’s army staged live-fire exercises in the far-southern Pingtung County on Tuesday night as part of a series of military exercises. Flares lit up targets on a mountain side base while tanks and cannons fired in almost complete darkness.
Apache attack helicopters, Ching-kuo Indigenous Defence Fighters, artillery and drones were expected to have been featured in the drills in Pingtung, according to Reuters. Although the drills were part of a regular round of exercises that happen annually, this year’s focus was on the threat Taiwan is facing from its neighbour China.
“Although Communist China has recently incessantly made moves towards us, trying to incite disputes, we will still carry on with exercises in the spirit of preparing for war without seeking war,” said Huang Jingfeng, a commanding battalion officer leading the exercise. “We will make sure that everyone can have a safe and happy Mid-Autumn Festival holiday.”
China has noticeably increased military activities in the region following the immediate aftermath of U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taipei last month, angered by what it saw as a strong show of U.S. support for the island Beijing claims as its own territory.

,1,During remarks in Tehran on Monday, Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani blamed the U.S. for the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Iranian-backed, Gaza-situated Hamas militants.
"The American government must be held accountable for the crimes of the Zionist regime, and it is the American government that is now supporting the Zionist regime against the oppressed nation of Palestine,” Kanaani said.
The accusation came after U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced a heavier military presence in the Middle East on Sunday, in wake of the Hamas attacks on Israel on Oct. 7. According to Blinken, the U.S. aircraft carriers being sent to the Mediterranean sea are intended to be a deterrence as opposed to a provocation of war.
Asked if Tehran would engage if the U.S. weighed in, Kanaani said that "Iran considers that the U.S. is already militarily involved in the conflict between Israel and Palestinians."

,1,Toronto's York University is facing calls to decertify a major student union over a public statement that called Hamas’ attacks in Israel “justified and necessary.”
The York Federation of Students, which represents 55,000 undergraduate students at York University, issued a “statement of solidarity with Palestine” on Thursday, in which the union argued the actions of Hamas represented a “strong act of resistance.”
The statement, which was also signed by the York University Graduate Students Association, was met with condemnation from Liberal MP Anthony Housefather, who called the comments “shocking.”
Global's Colin D'Mello reports.
