The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) will be conducting live-firing and military exercises across various locations from 14 to 21 April 2025. These exercises will take place on the islands of Pulau Sudong, Pulau Senang, and Pulau Pawai, as well as in the Pasir Laba SAFTI Live-Firing Area. The public is urged to steer clear of these areas and the surrounding waters to ensure safety.
The exercises will involve the use of live ammunition and flares, with loud noises expected. Sea vessels navigating the Western Johor Straits must adhere to the 75-metre Navigable Sea Lane and avoid the Live-Firing Boundary. Additionally, military exercises will occur in areas including Seletar, Marsiling, and Lim Chu Kang, where blanks and thunderflashes will be utilised.
As part of the Five Power Defence Arrangements (FPDA), the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) will conduct flying activities from Tengah, Paya Lebar, Sembawang, and Changi Air Base. These activities will include daytime weekend flights on 12, 13, 19, and 20 April, as well as night flights on 17 April.
The SAF emphasises that trespassing into restricted areas is a legal offence. The public is advised to remain vigilant and avoid these zones during the exercise period. These measures are crucial for maintaining safety and security during the operations.
