Taiwan’s military issued a “war survival” handbook on April 12 advising citizens how to respond to and protect themselves from a war situation, as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine increases worries about a possible Chinese regime incursion into the island.

The handbook outlines how residents can find bomb shelters using a phone app, how to stockpile supplies for wartime, and information on reserve force mobilization.
