Beijing to sound sirens for air raid drill

BEIJING will conduct an air raid drill on Sept. 19 in ten suburban districts and counties to improve abilities to handle attacks.

Sirens will sound next Saturday in outlying districts of the Chinese capital, including Fangshan, Tongzhou, Daxing districts and others, the Beijing civil defense bureau said.

They reminded the public to be prepared and not to panic when the sirens sound.

In addition to issuing warnings to the public, the drills will include evacuation, shelter and protection of important facilities.

Last year, the drill was held in the suburban Mentougou, Fangshan and Yanqing districts.
