The Sinchon Massacre (Korean: 신천 양민학살 사건; Hanja: 信川良民虐殺事件; lit. Sinchon Civilian Massacre[1]) was a massacre of civilians between 17 October and 7 December 1950,[1] in or near the town of Sinchon (currently part of South Hwanghae Province, North Korea). North Korean sources claim the massacre was committed by the U.S. military air and ground fire and that 30,000–35,383 people were killed in Sinchon.[3] South Korean sources dispute the death toll and accuse right-wing security police and communists of the killings.[3] The event took place during the second phase of the Korean War and the retreat of the North Korean government from Hwanghae Province.[4]
