Emergency services have been testing their terror attack responses in South Wales
It's been part of a multi-agency collaboration with emergency services from across the UK.
Emergency services across the UK have been running drills, including live-play exercises, in South Wales to test their preparedness for terror instances
The exercises involved emergency staff from across the UK, including Gwent Police, West Midlands Police, Counter Terrorism Policing HQ, CTP Wales, CTP West Midlands, South Wales Fire & Rescue Service, Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust, St Johns Ambulance and Welsh Government.
The practices took place over two days and involved around 300 people.
The practice wasn't in response to any specific terror instances, threats or intelligence, but is part of a regular testing program.
The scenario at the centre of the exercise involved a terrorist attack at a music event at Newport International Sports Village.
Assistant Chief Constable Mark Hobrough from Gwent Police said:
“This was a welcome opportunity for Gwent Police to take place and support in a national CT exercise alongside our emergency services.
“We take exercises such as this very seriously in order to test our plans and ensure we are as prepared as possible in the event of a large-scale emergency.”
Preparation like this is vital to ensuring we can continue to help keep communities safe.”
The terror threat to the UK remains at 'Substantial'.
