Washington A US Army base in South Korea accidentally sounded its alert siren on Thursday night, inadvertently stirring anxieties at a time when North Korea is threatening a "Christmas gift."
The false alarm rang out at Camp Casey, north of Seoul, around 10 p.m. the day after Christmas. What should have been played was taps -- the bugle call played at military funerals and on military bases at the end of the day.The mistake was"due to human error," public affairs officer Lt. Col. Martyn Crighton said in a statement. "The operator immediately identified the mistake and alerted units on Camp Casey of the false alarm," Crighton said.
