Subsequently, the Nogen Re Peace Foundation was formed in 2011. The truth of the death is acknowledged. Most of the dead are women and children. The news of this incident was revealed to the whole world by the Associated Press. It is said that North Korea opened fire to prevent the departure of the US military. Later, the former US President Bill Clinton regretfully did her duty.
On July 25, when North Korean forces captured the town of Yongdong, 7 miles (11 km) west of No Gun Ri, US troops evacuated the surrounding villages, including hundreds of residents of Chu Gok Ri and Im Ke Ri. These villagers joined others as they walked south along the main road, and an estimated 600 refugees spent the night on a riverbank near the village of Ha Ga Ri, 3.5 miles (5.5 km) west of No Gun Ri. Seven refugees were killed by US soldiers when they strayed from the group at night.
On the morning of 26 July, the villagers found that the escorting troops had left. They continued on the road, were stopped by American soldiers at a road block near No Gun Ri, and were directed to parallel railroad tracks, where US soldiers searched them and their belongings, confiscating knives and other items. The refugees were resting,[12]: 69–72 Recalling the air raids, 10-year-old Yang Hae-chan said in 1950, the attacking planes returned again and again and "chaos spread among the refugees. Away."
He and another survivor said that soldiers reappeared and began shooting at the wounded on the tracks. The survivors first sought refuge in a small culvert under the tracks, but soldiers and US ground forces moved them from there to a double tunnel under a concrete railroad bridge.
Inside the bridge's underpasses, each 80 feet (24 m) long, 22 feet (6.5 m) wide, and 40 feet (12 m) high, they came under heavy machine gun and rifle fire from the 7th Cavalry from both sides of the bridge. 71 “American soldiers played with our lives like boys play with flies,” said Chun Chun-ja, a 12-year-old girl at the time. "The children were screaming in fear and the adults were begging for their lives, and the whole time they didn't stop shooting," said survivor Park Sun-young, whose 4-year-old son and 2-year-old daughter were killed, while she is in critical condition.
Even after all these years, South Korea's Nugen Ri continues to bear a cruel example of the US war policy. Today, the government of that country is working as a friend of the US imperialists. Nugen Ri is still sitting on trial. The anniversary of the Genocide Day is celebrated throughout South Korea.
