Nationwide civil defense drill
Interior and Safety Minister Yun Ho-jung (L) evacuates to a underground parking lot at the government complex in Sejong, central South Korea, on Aug. 20, 2025, after an air-raid civil 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 an air raid exercise. The 20-minute exercise is a part of the four-day Ulchi civil defense drill that began on Aug. 18, in conjunction with a joint military exercise between South Korea and the United States, the Ulchi Freedom Shield.
