South Korea’s Ministry of Science and ICT held a safety drill on Oct. 30 with four telecom operators and related agencies as part of the 2026 Broadcasting and Telecommunications Complex Disaster Safety Korea Exercise. The drill simulated a drone attack causing fire and a power outage that disabled networks and spread service disruptions. Participants reviewed rescue and firefighting procedures, installed mobile base stations and tested temporary restoration. They also checked disaster roaming and disaster WiFi and demonstrated payment support via smartphone tethering.
