Approximately 35,000 people were killed by American military forces and their supporters during the span of 52 days.
According to a dispatch, titled “Sinchon simmering with rage”, released on 3 July 1998 by the Korean Central News Agency:
“The Yankees separated the mothers from their children before pouring gasoline at the children and babies who were crying for drinking water and milk. When the children and babies sucked gasoline and were crying, feeling great pains, the Yankees threw flaming torches to kill them. They also threw explosives at the mothers. The American soldiers drowned over 2,000 innocent people by dropping them from Soktang bridge. They also drowned more than 1,000 women in Sowon reservoir. Upwards of 1,200 patriotic-minded people detained in an ice warehouse were bitten to death by military dogs.”
