From Global News.

Residents of the South Korean city of Pocheon called for an immediate suspension of all live fire exercises within their district after eight bombs were accidentally dropped by South Korean fighter jets, injuring 15 people and damaging houses and a church in the city.

South Korea’s Air Force, which issued a public apology for the incident, said eight 500-pound (225kg) Mk82 bombs from KF-16 jets fell outside the shooting range during joint live-fire exercises.

Residents in the area have protested about the disturbance and potential danger from nearby training grounds for years.
