What happened on Wednesday June 28, 1950?

Here's what happened on June 28, 1950:

• Fall of Seoul On June 28, 1950, North Korean forces successfully captured Seoul, the capital of South Korea, marking a significant early victory in the Korean War. This rapid conquest demonstrated the initial military superiority of North Korean troops and set the stage for the subsequent international intervention.
• Bodo League Massacre During the early stages of the Korean War, a massive and tragic extrajudicial killing occurred where suspected communist sympathizers, estimated between 60,000 and 200,000 individuals, were systematically executed by South Korean forces. This event represents one of the largest mass killings of the 20th century, targeting civilians based on political suspicions.
• Seoul National University Hospital Massacre A horrific war crime occurred when the Korean People's Army (North Korean forces) attacked Seoul National University Hospital, systematically killing approximately 1,000 medical personnel, patients, and civilians. This brutal incident highlighted the extreme violence and disregard for medical neutrality during the Korean War's initial phase.
• Hangang Bridge Destruction In a desperate tactical maneuver during the Korean War, South Korean forces deliberately destroyed the Hangang Bridge in Seoul. Packed with refugees and leaving their 5th Division stranded, they attempted to slow the North Korean offensive. Despite this dramatic action, Seoul fell to North Korean troops later that same day, marking a critical moment in the early stages of the conflict.
