Switzerland will hold its first-ever nationwide crisis exercise at the end of this week, testing how federal, cantonal, and local authorities respond to a hybrid threat.
It will test how to respond to a combination of cyber-attacks, disinformation campaigns and political and economic pressures.
The large-scale drill involves the federal government, all 26 cantons, Parliament, the Principality of Liechtenstein, and several major cities.
According to the Federal Chancellery, the scenario will remain confidential until the start of the exercise, which will have no impact on the public.
Officials say the test aims to strengthen crisis management systems refined since the pandemic.
