South Korea charges air force pilots after accidental village bombing

[craig nigrelli]

SOUTH KOREAN MILITARY OFFICIALS CHARGED TWO AIR FORCE PILOTS WITH CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE AFTER THEY ENTERED INCORRECT COORDINATES DURING A TRAINING EXERCISE, CAUSING THEIR FIGHTER JETS TO BOMB A CIVILIAN VILLAGE. THE MARCH 6 INCIDENT IN POCHEON, (poach -on) NEAR THE NORTH N KOREAN BORDER, INJURED AT LEAST 29 PEOPLE INCLUDING 15 CIVILIANS AND 14 SOLDIERS, CAUSING EXTENSIVE PROPERTY DAMAGE.

INVESTIGATORS DETERMINED THE PILOTS MISTAKENLY DIRECTED TWO KF-16 FIGHTER JETS TO RELEASE EIGHT 500-POUND MK-82 BOMBS OUTSIDE THE DESIGNATED TRAINING RANGE. THE EXPLOSIONS DAMAGED HOMES AND BUILDINGS, LEAVING RESIDENTS WITH EAR INJURIES, MIGRAINES, AND ANXIETY. NINE VICTIMS REMAIN HOSPITALIZED, INCLUDING TWO IN SERIOUS CONDITION.

THE DEFENSE MINISTRY REMOVED THE PILOTS FROM FLIGHT DUTIES AND SCHEDULED A REVIEW OF THEIR MISSION CERTIFICATION. IF CONVICTED, THEY COULD FACE UP TO FIVE YEARS IN PRISON OR A FINE UNDER SOUTH KOREAN LAW. MILITARY OFFICIALS ALSO DISMISSED TWO UNIT COMMANDERS RESPONSIBLE FOR OVERSEEING SAFETY PROTOCOLS.

RESIDENTS IN POCHEON PROTESTED NEAR THE DEFENSE MINISTRY IN SEOUL, CALLING FOR AN END TO MILITARY DRILLS THEY SAY PUT CIVILIANS AT RISK. MEANWHILE, NORTH KOREA CONDEMNED THE INCIDENT, ARGUING IT HIGHLIGHTS THE DANGERS OF U.S.-SOUTH KOREAN MILITARY EXERCISES AND THE POTENTIAL FOR ESCALATION.

THE GOVERNMENT SUSPENDED LIVE-FIRE EXERCISES WHILE INVESTIGATORS EXAMINE THE FAILURE. DESPITE THE INCIDENT, JOINT U.S.-SOUTH KOREAN MILITARY DRILLS WILL CONTINUE AS PLANNED.

THE AIR FORCE CHIEF OF STAFF APOLOGIZED AND PLEDGED TO REVIEW PROCEDURES TO PREVENT FUTURE INCIDENTS.

We do not take money from any political parties. We do not endorse In_dia’s ruling party BJP and In_dia’s Prime Minister’s position on keeping In_dia a closed market, ambiguous economy, and keeping India as a heavy taxing country so no one from outside world wants to do business here. It’s like denying In_dia its right in the world…
BJP Government also discourages small and local media, coming down on them heavily regulating and using lawful actions along with soft threats from demented bureaucrat extremists and other extremist groups. On one hand, the mainstream media in In_dia is getting rich and on other hand the local small media is being strangulated. So if not automated or required, We do not willfully publish any content from In_dia or pertaining to that country.
“The parasitic left-wing media and their bottom-feeding cronies have devolved into nothing more than freeloading scavengers, desperately leeching onto every possible news outlet to vomit their hatred for President Trump, Elon Musk, the GOP, and whatever shred of sanity remains in this world. If this portal ever falls prey to their filth—if any of their fraudulent, brain-dead propaganda worms its way into our automated news curation—then it’s open season on these slime-covered hacks. These sewer-dwelling propagandists, along with their PR lackeys and shadowy intelligence handlers, keep trying to smear us with their garbage. Like disobedient pets, they need to be dealt with. And dealt with they shall be—right here on Khumaer.us, the personal news battleground of Khumaer Bayas. Let’s expose them for the lying vermin they are!”
