A U.S. Apache helicopter crashed in
central South Korea on Monday, killing its pilot and another crew member,
police and military officials said.
The attack helicopter went down in
the county of Wonju in Gangwon province, the officials said.
About 28,500 U.S. troops are
stationed in South Korea in joint defense with the South's forces against North
Korea. The two Koreas are in a technical state of war under a truce after their
1950-53 Korean War.
On Monday, South Korea's military
conducted artillery live-fire drills on islands near a disputed maritime border
with North Korea, ignoring Pyongyang's threat to fire back if any of the shells
landed in its waters.
