(MENAFN) A small South Korean army drone went down in a park in Gimpo, a city just west of Seoul, during a training exercise on Tuesday morning, according to a South Korean news agency.

Military authorities said in a press notice issued to local reporters that the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), operated by an army unit based in Gimpo, crashed for reasons that remain unknown. The aircraft was on an educational flight at the time and came down in a park close to the unit’s training ground.

The battalion-level drone reportedly lost communications in mid-flight before it fell, though the precise trigger has not been established.

No one was hurt, and no civilian property was damaged, the authorities said, noting that the only loss was to the drone equipment itself. The military has opened an inquiry to pinpoint exactly why the aircraft crashed.
