In view of the Pasir Laba live firing exercises, MINDEF also said that sea vessels and crafts sailing through the Western Johor Straits during the specified period are to keep within the 75-metre Navigable Sea Lane and not to stray into the Living Firing Boundary.
Blanks and thunderflashes will be used during the military exercises, while the live firing exercises will involve the use of live ammunition and flares.
"The public is advised not to be alarmed and to keep clear of these areas," said MINDEF.
In the same release, MINDEF advised the public to keep clear of the prohibited waters off Changi Naval Base and Tuas Naval Base, as well as Pulau Sudong, Pulau Senang and Pulau Pawai as they are "proclaimed manoeuvring and firing grounds".
