S. Korea holds 1st air raid exercise in 6 years

A road around City Hall is closed to traffic in Seoul on Aug. 23, 2023, after a civil defense siren went off across the country with vehicles on designated roads to be ordered to pull over and people to evacuate to shelters or underground facilities as South Korea holds the first air raid exercise in six years. The 20-minute exercise is a part of the four-day Ulchi civil defense drill in conjunction with a joint military exercise between South Korea and the United States, the Ulchi Freedom Shield. (Yonhap)
