On March 6, a shell fell on a civilian district in Pocheon, Seoul, injuring eight people and damaging houses and a church. 🚨🏠⛪
Fire officials believe the shell came from live-fire joint military exercises conducted by South Korea and the United States. 🇰🇷🇺🇸
Pocheon, located about 40 kilometers northeast of Seoul, lies near the heavily militarized border with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. 🗺️
While such drills are meant to enhance readiness, this incident highlights the risks of live-fire training near populated areas. The community is now assessing the damage and supporting those affected. 💔🙏
