SEOUL, April 14 (Bernama-Yonhap) -- Two South Korean Air Force unit commanders have been booked in relation to an unprecedented mistaken bombing of a civilian town last month, officials said on Monday, as the ministry released interim findings from the probe into the fighter jet accident, Yonhap News Agency reported.

On March 6, two KF-16 fighter jets dropped eight MK-82 bombs outside a training range in Pocheon, some 40 kilometres north of Seoul, during live-fire drills, injuring 52 people, including 38 civilians, according to an estimate by city authorities.
