Around 100 officials from police, fire stations and other related authorities also joined the drill. It involved two police and firefighting helicopters as well.
The exercise was held under the scenario of a deadly terror attack at the Daegu World Cup football stadium.
"We focused on improving the capability of putting an end to the situation, in case of a terror attack at public facilities, through rapid early response," Gen. Park Han-ki, chief of the command, said in a statement. (Yonhap)
