A South Korean Army AH-1S Cobra attack helicopter crashed on Monday (9 Febuary) during a training flight in the northern county of Gapyeong, killing both crew members on board, the military said.
The helicopter went down shortly after 11 a.m. for reasons that remain unclear.
The two crew members were evacuated to nearby hospitals but were later pronounced dead.
The Army has suspended operations of all AH-1S helicopters and set up an emergency response team to investigate the cause of the crash.
According to the military, the training involved practising emergency landing procedures without shutting down the engine.
