Bucheon: At least seven people were injured on Thursday after a South Korean Air Force fighter jet accidentally dropped eight bombs outside a training range during live-fire exercises, authorities said.

The incident resulted in injuries to seven individuals, with the severity ranging from minor to serious, and caused destruction to buildings.

The incident involved a KF-16 fighter jet, which was participating in a live-fire exercise and “abnormally” released eight MK-82 bombs outside the designated training range in Bucheon.
