A 66th anniversary memorial for the victims of No Gun Ri Massacre took place Tuesday at the No Gun Ri Peace Park.
No Gun Ri Massacre refers to the deaths of more than 150 South Korean refugees during the Korean War between July 26 and July 29 in 1950 by U.S. soldiers, who failed to discern that they were shooting at civilians.
The massacre was named after the region, Nogun-ri, of Hwanggan-myeon, Yeongdong-gun, in North Chungcheong Province.

The massacre was named after the region, Nogun-ri, of Hwanggan-myeon, Yeongdong-gun, in North Chungcheong Province.
The Korean government in 2005 gathered reports from surviving family members and estimated 150 dead, 13 missing and 63 suffering post-traumatic disorder.
Tuesday’s memorial marked the 66th anniversary of the tragedy.
More than 400 people came to pay tribute to the victims, as well as officials from relevant government bodies.
The No Gun Ri Peace Park was created in 2011 with 19.1 billion won ($16.8 million) funding to honor the victims.
The park is 132,240 square meters in size and includes a memorial hall and a history education center.
