  Actually, _two_ fighter jets accidentally dropped bombs. One is bad enough, but two is worrying.

  > The defence ministry said the training on Thursday was related to a joint drill with US forces.

  > This comes at a time when the two countries are increasingly wary of the growing alliance between North Korea and Russia.

  > During another joint drill by South Korea and the US in 2022, troops fired a short-range ballistic missile which malfunctioned and crashed on a golf course in the military base. While the warhead did not explode, it still burst into flames and sent panic rippling across residents in the area.

  The necessary cost of democracy.

  This is really troubling given it was dropped on a specific target [1].
