Two wild boars were spotted in downtown Uijeongbu at 12:05 a.m. on Monday, according to the police.

Residents in the region reported sightings after they came across a couple of wild pigs near an intersection in Uijeongbu-dong.

One of the boars was killed immediately after local police officers and fire fighters arrived on the scene. The other escaped into the nearby mountain, according to the police.
