Drill, code-named ‘Bravelight’, aims to strengthen Hong Kong’s counterterrorism expertise and coordination capability of government bodies
Hong Kong will conduct a counterterrorism drill with the largest-ever level of public participation on Thursday afternoon at the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal to simulate a terrorist attack on critical infrastructure.
The drill, code-named “Bravelight”, aims to strengthen Hong Kong’s counterterrorism expertise and the coordination capability of different bureaus and departments for responding to various forms of terrorist attacks.
The drill features four scenarios. The first depicts a gunfight between police and terrorists, followed by a field triage of the injured. The third scenario involves evacuating and inspecting passengers on a cruise.
The final scenario takes place in the waters outside the terminal, where officers will rescue passengers held hostage on a hijacked boat.
