A South Korean fighter jet, during a training exercise on Thursday, accidentally dropped bombs on a civilian area, resulting in multiple injuries. The incident involved MK-82 bombs that were released “abnormally” by the KF-16 fighter jet, falling outside a designated firing range and causing unspecified damage to civilian property. The exact number of injured individuals varied in reports, with South Korea’s Yonhap news agency stating that there were 15 casualties, including both civilians and soldiers. Two of those injured sustained serious but not life-threatening injuries, and at least seven buildings were damaged. The air force has apologized for the incident and plans to establish an investigative committee to determine the cause and extent of the damage. The incident reportedly took place in Pocheon, a city located near the heavily fortified border with North Korea.
