Oh Hu-seok, Gyeonggi Province Deputy Administrator for Administration, Promises Full Support for Pocheon Ammunition Misfiring Accident Victims

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Kim Kap-dong] Oh Hu-seok, Deputy Administrator for Administration at Gyeonggi Province, visited the National Armed Forces Seoul Hospital and Uijeongbu St. Mary's Hospital on the 9th to console victims injured in the Pocheon ammunition misfiring accident and discussed support measures.

Deputy Administrator Oh offered consolation to the victims and emphasized, “Do not worry about treatment costs and other financial matters. Focus solely on your recovery. Gyeonggi Province will take full responsibility and provide support until the end.”

During the visit, Deputy Administrator Oh listened to the current difficulties faced by the victims and promised measures that Gyeonggi Province can take.

For a Thai national patient hospitalized at the National Armed Forces Seoul Hospital, the province requested the Immigration Office to guarantee stable recovery and residency, and plans to provide nursing care support given current difficulties in mobility.

Additionally, upon learning that a victim in his 60s receiving treatment at Uijeongbu St. Mary's Hospital is unable to care for his elderly mother living alone, the province arranged nursing support through the Gyeonggi Province Social Service Agency. The victim's family expressed gratitude, saying, “Despite my pain, I could only worry about my mother, but now I can feel relieved.”

For victims whose vinyl greenhouses were damaged, the province promised to coordinate with relevant agencies to ensure that compensation includes not only vinyl greenhouse facilities but also agricultural crop damage.

The province plans to continue closely assessing damages from this accident and devise practical support measures.
