Five North Korean drones crossed into South Korea on Monday
and South Korea responded by scrambling jets and attack helicopters
and opening fire to try to shoot down the North Korean aircraft, the South Korean military said.

As part of its response, the South Korea military also sent surveillance aircraft into the North to photograph its military installations,
a South Korean military official said.

One of the drones was known to have returned to North Korea
while South Korea lost track of the other four, Yonhap reported, citing the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

While scrambling to counter the drones,
a South Korean KA-1 light attack aircraft crashed shortly after taking off from its base at Wonju in the country's east,
a defence ministry official said.
Its two pilots were able to escape before the crash and are in the hospital.
