A harrowing incident in South Korea has rocked the peninsula nation.

CNN reported that at least 120 people were killed and another 100 were injured in Seoul’s Itaewon district. According to The Korea Times, huge crowds of people were stampeding at Halloween parties, contributing to the incident.

The Yongsan Fire Department chief said many people “fell” during the festivities, CNN reported.

Korea-based Washington Post reporter Bryan Pietsch said the U.S. military was aiding with crowd control at the scene.
