2022-08-06: [Article Link]  According to the media, the recent developments in the maritime area surrounding Taiwan by the Liberation Army (PLA) have drawn attention to the fact that, in the evening of tomorrow, 6 May, the military forces of Taiwan are also conducting a previously scheduled “feed of loyalty” in the area of Marzougi and are firing live ammunition, although earlier it appears that the fires are under control as a result of the drop of the tracer on the slopes of the island. It is known that during the night-time shooting, which took place between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. tomorrow night in the Tungji region, it was suspected that a tracer landed on the slopes behind the three villages in the west, causing the area to be caught in a fire, which could be seen in Tungji Island. As soon as the incident was reported to the public at 7.38 p.m., two fire trucks were dispatched, after which the amount of water was insufficient to return to the vehicle, and another fire truck was sent to the fire-fighting station. Earlier in the village of Changjingjiang, it was stated that there had been no casualties at the scene and no displacement of the surrounding population, that the fire had been successfully controlled at around 9 p.m., and that further clarification remained to be made as to the exact cause of the fire. There were also reports from the media that the military responded earlier that the place of the fire was not a shooting point and had nothing to do with the military. #Taiwan#Japan stated that #PLA 4 missiles flew over Taipei #PLA will perform major military performances around Taiwan
