A South Korean army boat capsized during a training exercise today, killing three soldiers, in the third fatal accident involving a military craft inside a week.
A defence ministry official said the small boat with eight soldiers on board overturned in the Namhan River near Yeoju, about 100km southeast of Seoul.
Last Friday a South Korean surveillance plane crashed near the southeastern city of Jeonju, killing the two pilots. A day earlier, a South Korean navy ship sank after colliding with a fishing boat, leaving one sailor dead.
