Detailed explanation-1: -Through a surprise amphibious assault far from the Pusan Perimeter that UN and Republic of Korea Army (ROK) forces were desperately defending, the largely undefended city of Incheon was secured after being bombed by UN forces. The battle ended a string of victories by the North Korean Korean People’s Army (KPA).
Detailed explanation-2: -On September 15, 1950, the soldiers, sailors, and Marines of X Corps landed at Inchon. Even though the Inchon plans had been leaked in U.S. media and throughout Japan, North Korea was unprepared for the landing. Key objectives were taken with far fewer casualties than past U.S. amphibious operations.
Detailed explanation-3: -Aftermath & Impact UN casualties during the Inchon landings and subsequent battle for the city were 566 killed and 2, 713 wounded. In the fighting the NKPA lost more than 35, 000 killed and captured. As additional UN forces came ashore, they were organized into the US X Corps.
