Fifteen people were injured, including two seriously, after South Korean KF-16 fighter jets mistakenly dropped eight bombs in Pocheon during a live-fire drill. The Air Force blamed a pilot's incorrect input for the accident, while the cause of the second jet’s bomb release remains unclear. A church and homes were damaged, and a driver was hit by shrapnel. Authorities evacuated residents and searched for unexploded bombs, finding none. The Air Force apologized and pledged compensation. The incident occurred ahead of joint South Korea-US drills amid concerns over North Korea-Russia ties.
