Taiwan's Fourth Operational Command has mobilized troops to aid residents in southern Taiwan facing continuous heavy rainfall. The command has stationed pre-positioned forces at the district offices of Namasia and Liugui to support disaster relief efforts.

Military personnel are working alongside cadres from the Liugui District Reserve Force and the Pingtung County Taiwu Township Reserve Force. Their primary mission is to assist with preemptive evacuations, ensuring the safety of lives and property. This collaborative effort underscores the military's commitment to safeguarding the public during natural disasters.

The severe weather is attributed to a low-pressure system and the influence of the southwest monsoon, causing intense rainfall across southern Taiwan. The Fourth Operational Command stated it will continue to monitor the situation with local governments, dispatching troops, machinery, and equipment as needed for post-disaster recovery, environmental cleanup, and civilian support.
