Shells used by the U.S. Forces Korea (USFK) are piled up in a field on Nong Island in Maehyang-ri, Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province, Monday. With the Korean War breaking, the USFK began to use the small island as a firing range in 1951 and this continued for 54 years to 2005 according to an agreement with the South Korean government. They shelled the island for 11 hours a day, 250 days a year on average during the half-century of time, and 4,000 residents in Maehyang-ri suffered from the noise of fighters and the bombings. / Korea Times photo by Choi Won-suk |
