In Miaoli County, several temples recently received a letter from the Ministry of National Defense Reserve Command requesting them to sign an agreement to store ammunition on their grounds, causing local residents to fear the possibility of war. This led to strong opposition and panic among the residents, with the temple facing pressure from the community. The Reserve Command clarified that it was an exercise to enhance logistical support resilience and not actual ammunition placement, but the temple committee ultimately rejected the military's request. The military's plan to use temple grounds for ammunition storage has sparked concerns about safety and responsibility in case of accidents, with military experts and politicians criticizing the use of religious sites for military purposes.
