In a shocking and devastating incident, the US military base Camp Humphreys in South Korea came under attack on Monday night, resulting in the loss of three US soldiers and injuring five others.
According to reports from the US Department of Defense, the attack occurred at approximately 10:00 PM local time, with insurgents using a combination of small arms and explosives to target the base.
“We can confirm that three US soldiers were killed in action and five others were wounded during the attack on Camp Humphreys,” said a spokesperson for the US Department of Defense. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the fallen and the injured.”
Camp Humphreys, located in Pyeongtaek, South Korea, is one of the largest US military bases overseas and serves as a key logistics and operational hub for US Forces Korea.
The attack on Camp Humphreys has raised concerns about the safety and security of US military personnel serving in South Korea. The US has maintained a military presence in the country since the 1950s, with troops serving to deter North Korean aggression and maintain regional stability.
In response to the attack, the US military has increased security measures at Camp Humphreys and other bases in the region. Officials have also vowed to take action against those responsible for the attack.
“We will not tolerate attacks on our personnel or our facilities,” said the Pentagon spokesperson. “We will work with our South Korean partners to identify those responsible and bring them to justice.”
The incident has also sparked renewed calls for increased support for US military personnel serving overseas. “Our troops put their lives on the line every day to protect our nation and our interests,” said a spokesperson for the USO. “We must do everything in our power to support them and ensure their safety and security.”
As the investigation into the attack continues, officials are urging caution and vigilance. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers faced by US military personnel serving overseas and the importance of supporting our troops and their families.
