S. Korean troops misidentified a commercial aircraft and fired it
South Korean troops fired at a commercial aircraft flying near the sea border with North Korea, misidentifying it as North's jet fighters, “France Press” news agency informs.
According to “Reuters” writes a Marine Corps spokesman said two soldiers guarding an island on the waters off the South's western city of Incheon, fired their K-2 rifles for about 10 minutes at around 4 a.m. on Friday.
The plane was later identified as a flight by South Korean carrier Asiana Airlines making its descent to Incheon International Airport, Seoul's main airport.
