Taiwan holds live-fire drills as China ends largest-ever military exercises

"Taiwan has accused China of using the Pelosi visit as an excuse to kickstart drills that would
allow it to rehearse for an invasion.
Lou Woei-jye, spokesman for Taiwan's Eighth Army Corps, told AFP its forces fired howitzers and target flares as part of the defensive drill on Thursday morning.
The exercise in Taiwan's southernmost county Pingtung began at 0830 am (0030 GMT) and lasted about an hour, he said.
Artillery trucked in from the coast was lined up side by side, with armed soldiers in units firing the howitzers out to sea one after the other, a livestream showed." France24
