A fighter jet of the South Korean air force crashed on Monday as it scrambled to intercept North Korean drones that had intruded into South Korean airspace, Seoul’s military said.
A South Korean KA-1 light aircraft crashed, some 140 km east of Seoul, at about 11:40 a.m. local time (0240 GMT), Yonhap news agency reported, citing Seoul’s military.
The two pilots aboard escaped safely and were transferred to a nearby hospital. The combat plane fell in a field, and no civilian casualty has been reported yet, Yonhap added.

The South Korean military failed to track four of the five North Korean drones that intruded into South Korean airspace on Monday, the Yonhap news agency reported.
One of the UAVs reached a northern neighborhood of Seoul and returned back to the DPRK. The other four reportedly made inroads from Ganghwa Island, northwest of Incheon. They stayed in this area for a while before disappearing from radar screens. Their exact flight path could not be tracked.
