South Korean Air Force reaffirms pilot error in fighter jet bombing interim probe. Two KF-16 fighter jets dropped eight 500-pound MK-82 bombs outside a training range in Pocheon, some 40 kilometres north of Seoul. 31 people, including 19 civilians, were injured in the accidental bombing. The Air Force has vowed to strengthen procedures to confirm target coordinates in live-fire drills and overhaul its overall reporting system for abnormal situations. The armed service also announced plans to bolster the inspection of missions and strengthen safety training on live- fire drills for all pilots. The Defence Ministry said it plans to conduct its own probe into the bombing, considering the gravity of the accident. The two pilots in question, as well as others who were involved in the training, could face criminal charges based on the investigation results and could be charged with criminal negligence. The incident occurred during a joint military exercise between South Korea and the U.S. in the South Korean province of Gyeonggi. The joint exercise is part of a major springtime joint exercise between the United States and South Korea.
