Sirens wailed, roads emptied and people were ordered to stay indoors in Taiwan’s capital Taipei on July 17 during an annual air-raid exercise aimed at preparing for any Chinese missile attack.
Sirens sounded at 1:30 p.m. (0530 GMT) for the mandatory street evacuation drills, which effectively shut towns and cities across northern Taiwan for 30 minutes.
