In the South Korean city of Jinju, a truck ran over a group of protesters, killing one person and injuring two others. This was reported by the Yonhap news agency on April 20, citing local authorities.
It is noted that the incident occurred at the logistics center at 10:32 a.m. (4:32 a.m. Moscow time). According to police, a 2.5-ton truck crashed into the protesters at the moment when people were trying to prevent the car from leaving the territory.
