South Korean fighter jets accidentally released eight 500-pound bombs onto a civilian area in Pocheon during a military exercise, injuring 15 people.
Among the injured were four Thai nationals; one suffered serious hand and leg injuries requiring surgery, while three others sustained minor wounds.
The incident occurred due to a pilot's incorrect coordinate entry, causing the bombs to fall outside the designated firing range.
South Korean authorities pledged to cover medical expenses for the seriously injured Thai and established an investigation committee to address the accident and provide compensation.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
