South Korean students threw firebombs at a U.S. military base in Seoul on Monday in a fresh protest against the acquittal last week of two U.S. soldiers whose armored vehicle crushed two girls to death. No damage or injuries were reported.

About 20 students tossed 15 Molotov cocktails at Camp Gray, a small storage facility several miles from the U.S. Forces Korea headquarters, local police and U.S. military officials said.

A military court acquitted the vehicle’s driver and navigator of negligent homicide in the June incident. On Saturday, 500 people demonstrated outside the U.S. headquarters in Seoul.
