Simulation of a CBRNE attack under the HOTHREAT project
On June 6, 2025, armed terrorists stormed the Training and Conference Centre of the University of Lodz (CSK) at Kopcińskiego Street, took a hostage, and dispersed an unidentified chemical substance. The exercise was organized by the Biohazard Prevention Centre of the University of Lodz, in cooperation with the Regional Police Headquarters in Lodz and Safety Core sp. z o.o., as part of the Hothreat project.
The drill consisted of two main components:
- Facility staff response in the event of a terrorist attack,
- Emergency service response to a terrorist incident involving CBRNE agents.
The following units took part in the exercise:
- Regional Police Headquarters in Lodz,
- Independent Counter-Terrorism Subdivision of the Regional Police Headquarters in Lodz,
- Police Prevention Unit in Lodz,
- Municipal Police Headquarters in Lodz,
- Other participating units, including officers from JRG4 – the Specialized Chemical Rescue Group of the Municipal Headquarters of the State Fire Service in Lodz.
Such exercises are vital for improving CBRNE emergency preparedness, coordination between services, and ensuring the safety of both facility staff and the general public.
