The Hangang Bridge bombing (, Hanja: 漢江人道橋爆破) was a bombing conducted by the South Korean Army to destroy the Hangang Bridge in Seoul, South Korea on 28 June 1950. On 25 June 1950, North Korea invaded South Korea, sparking the Korean war. South Korean President Rhee Syngman called for the defense of Seoul to the death. On 21 September 1950, Colonel Choi Changsik was executed as the responsible person for the bombing. In 1964, Choi's wife pleaded his innocence to the appeal tribunal, and the court found Choi not guilty because the bombing order was issued by his superior officers.
