Pictured: A firefighter hoses down simulated patients during a CBRN and EOD training exercise in an abandoned hospital in Papworth on 4 November 2025. Chilling scenes have seen the UK government preparing for a deadly chemical attack. A major national security exercise this month featured up to 600 members of the emergency services, armed forces and partner agencies simulating a multi-agency response to a large-scale chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear or explosive (CBRNE) incident. The drill took place at an abandoned hospital in Papworth, Cambridgeshire and included, alongside police, paramedics, NHS staff, and firefighters, as well as specialist agencies such as DSTL, an executive agency of the Ministry of Defence (MOD) that provides science and technology expertise. Scenarios tested the response to terrorist uses of a chemical or biological weapon, an improvised explosive device, a hazardous materials release, or a large-scale poisoning. Jointly delivered by Eastern Region Counter Terrorism Policing and the Ministry of Defence, participants responded to a complex, simulated CBRNE incident which involved material release and a number of improvised explosive devices (IEDs).
