This drill was conducted under the supervision of the Army's 50th Division to complete the anti-terrorism readiness posture and on-site response operation termination capabilities. A total of about 160 personnel from related agencies, including Hanul Headquarters' security police, special security forces, its own fire brigade, and subordinate units of the Army's 50th Division, were mobilized.


The drill scenario involved an unauthorized drone detected by the Hanul Nuclear Power Headquarters' drone detection equipment (RF scanner), rapidly infiltrating toward the nuclear power plant. The personnel attempted to neutralize the drone using a jamming gun (frequency jamming device), but the drone collided with the main building, exploded, and the terrorists staged a hostage situation with a secondary explosion threat.


The security police immediately transmitted the situation according to the reporting system, and the initial response unit stationed at the headquarters, reinforcement units from the Haeryong Brigade, and the initial response team from Uljin Police Station were dispatched to search the area.


While access was controlled at the checkpoint, the team confirmed whether there was any radioactive leakage at the drone explosion site, and the drill concluded with fire suppression, rescue activities, explosive detection, and the special forces subduing the terrorists.



Head of Headquarters Lee Seyong stated, “Training that feels like real combat and real combat that feels like training is important,” adding, “Through this drill, Hanul Headquarters will firmly respond to any threat.”
