Daejeon: The justice ministry has recently launched an investigation after receiving a report that 100 rounds of live ammunition went missing from a prison in the central city of Daejeon, sources said Saturday. Officials at the Daejeon Correctional Institution discovered a discrepancy between the actual number of live rounds in the prison's armory and the number recorded in the ledger.
According to Yonhap News Agency, it remains unclear whether the rounds were indeed missing or if the discrepancy was due to an error in the ledger. Authorities are planning to investigate the timeline and circumstances under which the rounds disappeared, as well as assess any potential violations of regulations.
