A South Korean KF-16 fighter jet accidentally dropped 8 bombs in Pocheon, near the North Korean border, during a training exercise. The explosion injured 6 civilians and 2 soldiers, with 2 in serious condition. The bombs, meant for a military range, were "abnormally" released, damaging 7 buildings. The air force apologized and promised compensation, while a committee will investigate the incident. The mishap occurred ahead of South Korea-US joint military drills. Residents have long protested the risks of training grounds near civilian areas.
