On the morning of September 2, a startling scene unfolded at the garbage dump on the east side of the first terminal of Incheon International Airport in South Korea. When the cleaning staff was clearing the garbage, they found more than 300 live bullets.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately attracted widespread attention. The Incheon International Airport Corporation promptly reported this situation. The Incheon International Airport Police Regiment took action immediately and retrieved all these live bullets.

The police have now fully intervened in the investigation. According to preliminary ***ysis, these live bullets may have been discarded here by the US military before leaving the country because they could not be brought into the cabin. In view of this, the police plan to extract fingerprints and further investigate to determine the source and specific situation of the live bullets.

South Korea has always been strict in the management of guns and ammunition. Against such a background, the appearance of such a large number of live bullets in the garbage dump of Incheon International Airport is shocking and puzzling. This incident has not only triggered concerns among the South Korean people about airport safety management but also attracted the attention of the international community. All parties are waiting for the results of the police investigation to understand why these live bullets appeared in the airport garbage dump and whether there are security loopholes or other potential problems. We will continue to pay attention to the progress of the follow-up investigation.
