Taiwan Holds Defensive Drill, Temporarily Closing Wanban Bridge

In a display of its commitment to safeguarding the capital city, Taiwan conducted a military exercise that involved the temporary closure of the Wanban Bridge.

Bridge Closure Facilitates Realistic Defense Scenario

The Wanban Bridge, a crucial link between New Taipei City’s Banqiao District and Taipei’s Wanhua District, was closed to traffic from 11 p.m. local time on Monday until 6 a.m. on Tuesday. This closure allowed for a realistic simulation of defense maneuvers, enhancing the effectiveness of the drill.

Protecting Taipei: A Key Objective

The exercise focused on strategies to prevent potential incursions into Taipei. The temporary inconvenience caused by the bridge closure underscores the importance Taiwan places on maintaining its security and protecting its citizens.
