The South Korean military announced that an AH-1S Cobra helicopter crashed on Monday during a routine training mission in Gapyeong County, resulting in the death of its two-person crew. The army stated in a statement that the helicopter went down after 11 a.m. (0200 GMT) for reasons still unclear. The training mission involved practicing emergency landing procedures without shutting down the engine. Following the incident, the military grounded all helicopters of this type and formed an emergency response team to investigate the causes. The crew members were transported to a nearby hospital, but they later succumbed to their injuries.
