On the 24th at 6:20 PM, a report was received that a bullet flew and lodged into the front windshield of an SUV driving on a four-lane road in Yeongjung-myeon, Pocheon-si, Gyeonggi Province.

The bullet pierced through the wiper and embedded in the glass, but the driver of the vehicle, Mr. A (in his 40s), was unharmed.

It is known that there is a US military shooting range about 1 km away from the accident site. There is also a nearby South Korean military base, but no shooting training was conducted there at the time of the incident.

The bullet recovered from the accident vehicle was retrieved by the US military and is presumed to be a 5.56mm rifle bullet.

The military is investigating the exact circumstances of the accident with the driver and the US military base.

Previously, in 2014, a bullet fired from a training ground in the Pocheon area crossed a mountain and lodged in a civilian office about 1 km away.

In 2020, a bullet was found in the head of a woman who collapsed at a golf course in Damyang, Jeollanam-do. The incident occurred only 1.7 km from a military shooting range, and at that time, the military authorities urgently closed the shooting range of the relevant military base.
