China: Increased security likely in Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, through mid-November
Authorities are likely to maintain increased security in Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, China, through mid-November as city hosts major event.
Officials will probably maintain enhanced security measures across Zhuhai, Guangdong Province, through mid-November as the city hosts a high-profile event. Zhuhai is hosting the Zhuhai Air Show at the Zhuhai Jinwan Airport (ZUH) through Nov. 17. Security measures could also be enhanced following a mass casualty incident on Nov. 11. On Nov. 11, a local resident drove his vehicle through a crowd near the Zhuhai Sports Center killing 35 people and injuring dozens more. The driver was arrested after the incident. The motive for the incident is unclear.
Authorities will likely maintain enhanced security measures around ZUH and other high-profile government buildings and public transport hubs. Officials could establish barricades and conduct random inspections and identity checks. These measures could cause localized transport disruptions, including delays to flight departure and landings. Associated business disruptions are possible.
Exercise caution if operating in or near ZUH and the surrounding Zhuhai area. As a precaution, avoid any crowded areas. Depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Plan accordingly for localized transport and business disruptions. Reconfirm all flights. Do not check out of hotel rooms until all necessary travel has been confirmed. Heed all official transport and security advisories.
