The South Korean Air Force F-16 crashed during a training flight, obviously due to a technical malfunction. Both pilots ejected safely.

Yonhap reported that a South Korean F-16 fighter jet crashed during a drill on Wednesday, but the two pilots safely ejected from the stricken plane, the Air Force said.

The cause of the crash in Cheongsong, 322 kilometers southeast of Seoul, was not immediately known.
