On 26 June, 1963, the headquarter of Eporisya Malosom za Yaraa was bombed by a faction of anti-Impurists at the prompting of low-ranking members of the Yaraan Kryfon's Movement, resulting in the deaths of 21 people and the injury of 38. The attack–which was a part of a campaign against Impurists being bankrolled and supported by several members of the YKM unbeknownst to the party's leaders–was the worst attack in the campaign in terms of fatalities, and prompted already curious journalists who had been investigating the then-ongoing string of Impurist related bombings to investigate the matter more thoroughly. Just days after the bombing, back-alley payments by MPs Zyŏn Mekar, Ryfald Mirŏ, and other members of the Yaraan Kryfon's Movement were traced back to various assassins and terrorist organizations, essentially implicating them in ordering the attack. Conclusive evidence of collusion between low-level members of the YKM and various terrorist organizations was established several days thereafter. These connections were published on 20 July, 1963, beginning the Purge scandal and setting off a chain of events that would lead to the invasion of Yaraa just over a week and a half later, and the eventual sentencing of Zyŏn Mekar and Ryfald Mirŏ to life in prison.
