Beijing’s Rocket Force, the People’s Liberation Army’s missile division, conducted the large-scale army exercise according to the country’s state media. The military launched the Dongfeng cruise missiles which “struck special targets precisely”, the China Central Television Station (CCTV) reported.
The videos released by the state-run broadcaster shows at least six visible military trucks.
Each of the vehicles carried three missile launchers at the army drill.
The footage also showed numerous warheads flying into the skies after being fired by soldiers who protective face masks.
The most recent footage is the latest of multiple propaganda videos released by China’ state broadcaster.
Last month, the outlet published footage of the country’s second aircraft carrier firing ammunition to strike targets during an army exercise.
Earlier in October, CCTV also displayed the country’s soldiers “seizing an island” in a simulation attack in an alleged threat to Taiwan.
China has claimed the self-run Taiwan as its own which has led to continuing tensions.
