  "summary": "The Haunggang port counter-terrorism drill, involving about 5,000 civil servants, concluded smoothly on Saturday. The exercise simulated an extremist shooting attack and a serious traffic accident to evaluate the coordination between different departments in evacuations and threat responses. Participants traversed the terminal's arrival and departure halls, exited via public transit, and simulated pedestrian and vehicle flow, as well as crowd-control measures. Security secretary Chris Tang conducted a review meeting after the drill to assess the workflow and gather participant feedback for future enhancements. The HKSAR Government plans to schedule more drills in preparation for the port's opening, emphasizing close collaboration with Shenzhen side.",
