 The No Gun Ri Massacre (Hangul: 노근리 민간인 학살 사건; hanja: 老斤里良民虐殺事件; RR: Nogeulli Mingan-in Hagsal Sageon) occurred on July 26 – 29, 1950, early in the Korean War, when an undetermined number of South Korean refugees were killed by a U.S. air attack and the actions of the 2nd Battalion, 7th U.S. Cavalry, at a railroad bridge near the village of No Gun Ri (Korean: 노근리), 100 miles (160 km) southeast of Seoul. In 2005, a South Korean government inquest certified the names of 163 dead or missing, and 55 wounded, and added that many other victims' names were not reported. The South Korean government-funded No Gun Ri Peace Foundation estimated in 2011 that 250 – 300 were killed, mostly women and children.
