South Korea's Ministry of Defense announced on the 3rd that Han Ki-sung, head of the First Army Corps of the South Korean Army, was temporarily suspended from now on due to unauthorized orders to South Korea's front forces not to be loaded with live ammunition while carrying out a security mission, and the South Korean military almost mistakenly attacked a US military drone a few days ago. According to Yonhap News Agency, Han Ki-sung is accused of ordering adjustments to the First Army Corps security service regulations on his own, requiring soldiers to carry out surveillance tasks at forward posts and general outposts, K6 heavy machine guns and K4 automatic grenade launchers do not load actual ammunition, but instead place ammunition next to weapons. However, according to relevant regulations, front-line forces must be loaded with live ammunition when on duty. This order raised concerns about the front forces' lax combat preparedness and insufficient vigilance.
