South Korean President Yoon Seok-gil declared national mourning in the wake of yesterday’s tragedy during the Halloween celebration in Seoul.
“It’s really horrible,” President Yun said in a televised address, stressing that it was “a tragedy that should not have happened.”
He assured that the government will thoroughly investigate the causes “to ensure that such an accident does not happen again in the future”.
At least 151 people have been killed and about 150 injured so far in a nightmarish Halloween celebration in Seoul, when hundreds of people were trampled through a maze of narrow alleyways in the nightlife district of Itewon.
About 100,000 people, according to South Korean media estimates, had visited the district to celebrate Halloween, the first major public gathering in the capital Seoul since restrictions against the Covid-19 pandemic were lifted.
