Acting President Choi Sang-mok has ordered the city of Pocheon in Gyeonggi Province to be declared a special disaster area, following significant damage from a recent Air Force bombing accident. 

On Saturday, Choi emphasized the need for swift action to support recovery and aid for residents.

This comes after two fighter jets accidentally dropped eight bombs on a civilian area in Pocheon during training on Thursday, injuring 29 people.

Choi also pressed the defense ministry on Friday, demanding a thorough review of the training procedures to prevent similar accidents.
