The No Gun Ri massacre refers to an incident of mass killing of an undetermined number of South Korean refugees by U.S. soldiers of the 7th Cavalry Regiment ( and in a U.S. air attack ) between 26 – 29 July 1950 at a railroad bridge near the village of Nogeun-ri , southeast of Seoul . In 2005 , the South Korean government certified the names of 163 dead or missing ( mostly women , children , and old men ) and 55 wounded . It said that many other victims ' names were not reported . Over the years survivors ' estimates of the dead have ranged from 300 to 500 . This episode early in the Korean War gained widespread attention when the Associated Press ( AP ) published a series of articles in 1999 that subsequently won a Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting
