On Thursday, during military exercises in Pocheon, South Korea, two fighter jets unintentionally dropped bombs in a civilian area, injuring 15 people and causing damage to homes and a church. According to the fire service, two individuals sustained serious injuries.

The Air Force stated that the incident occurred due to incorrect coordinates entered by the pilot.

Local residents have previously raised concerns about the proximity of military training grounds to civilian areas.
