Cheney tak cedera oleh ledakan di gerbang pangkalan itu, tapi sedikit-dikitnya sembilan orang, termasuk satu tentara Amerika Serikat dan seorang tentara Korea Selatan tewas serta lebih dari 20 orang lain luka.
Cheney was unhurt by the blast at the base gates but at least 9 people including a US and a South Korean soldier were killed and over 20 others wounded.
