Syria's Deadliest Days: Over 1,000 Killed in Clashes and Revenge Killings

In a tragic escalation of violence, over 1,000 people have lost their lives in Syria during two days of intense clashes and revenge killings. The conflict erupted between Syrian security forces and loyalists of ousted President Bashar al-Assad, with sectarian violence targeting the Alawite community, a key support base of the former regime.

Tragic Error: South Korean Air Force Jets Drop Bombs on Civilian Homes, Injuring 15

In a shocking incident on Thursday, South Korean fighter jets accidentally dropped eight bombs on a civilian district in Pocheon during military exercises, resulting in injuries to 15 people, including two who were seriously hurt. The mishap occurred when a pilot entered incorrect coordinates, causing the bombs to fall outside the designated shooting range.

The bombs, each weighing 225 kilograms, were released from two KF-16 jets during joint live-fire exercises near the demilitarized zone separating the two Koreas. The explosions caused significant damage to homes, a church, and other structures in the area. Residents have long protested the disturbance and potential danger posed by nearby training grounds.

Authorities have suspended live-fire exercises until a thorough investigation is conducted to determine the cause of the error. Despite the incident, major joint South Korean and U.S. military exercises scheduled to begin on Monday will proceed as planned.

Pocheon city mayor Baeck Young-hyeun urged the government and military to implement measures to prevent further civilian damage. The South Korean Air Force has apologized for the accident and expressed their wishes for the swift recovery of those injured.
