Gwangju Nambu Police Station Conducts Mock Drill to Prepare for Terror Attacks at Multi-use Facilities

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] On the 16th, the Gwangju Southern Police Station conducted an anti-terrorism drill responding to explosive device terrorism at a multi-use facility located in Nam-gu.

The drill simulated a hypothetical terrorist scenario in which a socially disgruntled individual concealed a bag suspected to contain an explosive device within the multi-use facility and threatened to detonate it, focusing on strengthening initial on-site response capabilities.

The police officers dispatched to the scene assessed the situation as 'high risk' and took swift initial measures according to the manual, including full area lockdown, detection of the suspicious object by the police special forces' detection dogs, and disposal of the explosive device by EOD personnel.

A police official stated, “We will establish a close cooperative system with the relevant facility institutions to protect the lives and property of the public and ensure public safety.”
