SKorean military partly resumes live-fire drills after bomb misdrop incident – Reports

Seoul, Mar 18 (UNI) The South Korean military has partially resumed military drills, including live firing, after suspending them due to the accidental bombing of civilian homes on March 6, the Yonhap news agency reported on Tuesday, citing the South Korean Defense Ministry.
On March 6, two KF-16 jets dropped a total of eight MK-82 bombs outside of a training range, some 26 miles from Seoul, one of which landed in the village of Nogok. According to the latest information, 38 people were injured in the incident, including 24 civilians.
The ministry reportedly intends to resume drills involving the use of rifles and small arms in operational units and training camps. The resumption, however, excludes training grounds in the Pocheon area, the news agency said.
