Not sure which is this reaction

Hi everyone,

I don't understand (probably don't know) how this reaction goes... What is exactly this reaction?

Thanks a lot

I suppose that the 1st step is addition of bromine to get dibromo compound and then elimination of those two bromines to get the tripple bond.

Strictly, it's addition of Br2 followed by elimination of 2 molecules of HBr.
