The F-16 crashed in waters near Jikdo Island in Gunsan, about 180 km south of Seoul. The pilot ejected safely and was recovered in less than an hour, the US military said in a statement.

This was the third F-16 crash in South Korea in a year. Last month an F-16 crashed into the Yellow Sea during routine training. Last May an F-16 crashed near Osan Air Base in Pyeongtaek.
