South Korea held a nationwide emergency drill on August 22, part of the annual Ulchi Freedom Shield joint military exercises with the US, which caused confusion in the capital, Seoul, as traffic was halted and thousands of civilians took part in mass evacuations. The drill aimed to simulate a war or national emergency situation and included responding to a North Korean drone attack and terrorist incidents. Despite happening annually, the drills often face a lack of information and public interest due to South Korea's long-standing technical war status with North Korea.
