U.S. spy plane crash-lands near North Korea

SEOUL, South Korea -- An unmanned U.S. military spy plane crash-landed near the border with communist North Korea, forcing the U.S. military to ground all planes of the same type deployed in South Korea last month, officials said today. Nobody was injured.

The plane, called the Shadow 200 Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, crash-landed Thursday night on a river bank in Dongduchon, 20 miles south of the border with the North, said Choi Yang-do, a spokesman of the 2nd U.S. Infantry Division.

The U.S. military grounded all Shadow 200 planes in South Korea and elsewhere in the world, except Iraq, pending an investigation into what caused the accident, Choi said.

The U.S. military began flying Shadow planes last month to help monitor North Korean military activities along its border with the South.
