The weapons were “presummed to have fallen on a community during a South Korea-US combined exercising,” according to South Korea’s National Fire Agency.
Two really hurt people were among the 15 people who were injured, according to a speech from the Gyeonggi-do Bukbu Fire Services.

The tower was shaken by a sudden explosion. One of our teachers was hurt and taken to the hospital because of the broken windows, the center’s chairman, who is surnamed Yu, reported on Yonhap.
” Fortunately, none of the elders were hurt, but we sent them all home,” they continued.
