South Korea's Pyeongtaek authorities ordered residents near Osan Air Base to evacuate after a white phosphorus leak was reported at the US military facility on Tuesday afternoon around 5 p.m.[1] The base, located near Seoul, prompted swift action from local officials to ensure public safety.[1]
The US military established a 1,000-foot safety perimeter around the affected area,[1] while Korean authorities set up a 300-500 meter warning zone.[1] Within hours of the incident, decontamination work was completed and the evacuation order was lifted.[1] The US military characterized the event as a ground accident with no major injuries or significant incident reported.[1]
