The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) has announced a series of military and live firing exercises scheduled from 25 August to 1 September 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 and various locations across Singapore, including Seletar, Marsiling, and Tuas.
During this period, the SAF will conduct live firing and demolition activities, which may result in loud noises. The public is advised to stay clear of these areas and the surrounding waters, including the prohibited waters off Changi Naval Base and Tuas Naval Base. Sea vessels navigating the Western Johor Straits are instructed to remain within the 75-metre Navigable Sea Lane to avoid the Live Firing Boundary, where live ammunition and flares will be used.
In addition to live firing, military exercises will occur in several locations, including Jalan Bahar, Neo Tiew, and Lim Chu Kang, where blanks and thunderflashes will be employed. The SAF has emphasised that trespassing into gazetted and restricted areas is an offence punishable by law, urging the public to adhere to safety guidelines.
These exercises are part of the SAF’s routine training to ensure operational readiness and effectiveness. The public is reminded not to be alarmed by the activities and to prioritise safety by avoiding the designated areas.
