AI Summary (NQ-processed)
On June 9, Taiwan's Army 10th Corps conducted a heavy artillery exercise near the Dajia River estuary in Taichung, simulating a defense against an amphibious invasion by Chinese forces. Despite heavy rain, troops carried out live-firing of the Thunder 2000 multiple rocket system for the first time in a tactical area in seven years, followed by M109A2 self-propelled howitzers. One rocket from a Thunder 2000 launcher fell short due to a propulsion issue, but caused no damage. The drill, conducted simultaneously from 8 positions across a 20-km front, aimed to validate joint firepower capabilities.
