A training shell was found at a shopping arcade in Sindang-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul, prompting the evacuation of about 20 residents.
According to the Jungbu Police Station in Seoul on the 23rd, at about 4:40 p.m. that day, the building manager reported to police that an object believed to be a shell had been found.
After an explosive ordnance disposal team examined the object, it was identified as a practice shell teaching aid, not a real explosive. The shell had no detonator or gunpowder, so there was no risk of explosion.
The military authorities recovered the practice shell on site. How the shell was found is under investigation.
