South Korea: A committee at Casey Base, north of Seoul, issued a false siren instead of a sleeper horn, prompting many American soldiers to consider the North Korean attack.

US duty soldiers mistakenly activated the alarm button on the radio system at Casey base, north of South Korea's capital, Seoul, and caused chaos here at about 10pm on the night of December 26. Hearing sirens, many soldiers, fully armed, went out of their bedrooms shortly after thinking that the base was attacked by North Korea.

"It was a human-caused incident. When it was discovered, the soldier informed all the units stationed at Casey base," said US Army Division 2 spokesman Martyn Crighton. added that the duty soldier was on duty to press the button to run the alarm to go to bed at the base.

The video posted on the Twitter account, which was watched by many US soldiers, showed a siren at a base, accompanied by a line that said, "I think North Korea has given us Christmas presents." However, Lieutenant Colonel Crighton has not confirmed whether this is a video of the incident on December 26 at Casey Base.

The Casey Base is located on a 10-square-kilometer plot of land near the city of Dongducheon, which is home to thousands of US soldiers. It is also the closest US base to North Korea, only about 20 km from the Inter-Demilitarized Zone (DMZ).

The incident comes as countries are closely monitoring every new development on the Korean peninsula, after Pyongyang threatened to send "a Christmas gift" to Washington if denuclearization negotiations were not reached. overate.

The US military then announced its readiness to deal with any of the Korean actions. However, Pyongyang did not carry out any long-range missile tests at Christmas as previously observed by observers.
