Two South Korean fighter jets apparently crashed into a mountain Tuesday during a routine training flight near their east coast base, military officials said. The F-5s with a total of three pilots aboard went missing five minutes after leaving base at Gangneung 160 kilometres (100 miles) east of Seoul, the defence ministry said. "We believe the jets have crashed into a mountain west of the base," an air force spokesman told a foreign news agency, adding the fate of the pilots was not known. The ministry said it would disclose details after a rescue team found the wreckage.
