This drill was carried out under the scenario that a fictional enemy special operations unit had conducted prior reconnaissance of Topyeong Bridge, disabled the surveillance network by destroying the CCTV control system, and then detonated explosives on the bridge in a calculated and malicious terrorist attack.

As a result, the Guri City Integrated CCTV Control Center failed to detect the explosion in time, leading to a simulated crisis where the initial response was delayed. The exercise realistically recreated a complex disaster situation that could cause public anxiety and additional damage.

Guri City, in cooperation with the military, police, fire department, and other related agencies, activated a rapid on-site response system. Through close collaboration, effective communication, and the operation of an appropriate on-site command system, the city worked to overcome the disaster situation.

In particular, this drill was significant because it was not merely a simulated scenario, but an important opportunity to assess the city's ability to respond to complex terrorist incidents that could actually occur.

Guri City plans to establish a robust urban safety network that can protect the lives and property of its citizens in any crisis situation by ensuring immediate initial information sharing, rapid restoration of integrated control functions, and efficient operation of resident guidance systems.

Mayor Baek Kyunghyun stated, "The safety of our citizens is the highest priority that never changes under any circumstances," and added, "Through continuous, realistic training even in peacetime, we will make Guri City steadfast in the face of any crisis."
