SEOUL, March 7 — The number of people injured after South Korean fighter jets accidentally dropped bombs on a civilian area yesterday increased to 15 civilians and 14 soldiers, the Yonhap News Agency said today, citing the country's defence ministry.
Houses and a church were hit during military exercises in Pocheon, the Air Force and fire agency said.
Pocheon is about 40 kilometres northeast of Seoul, near the heavily militarised border with North Korea.
"There was a sudden loud roar of a fighter jet, then an explosion rang out … When I went to the scene, there were about four houses that were halved from the damage, people hurt," said Oh Moung-su, a 65-year-old resident.
