What happened
During its scheduled flight path, the aircraft was targeted and struck by anti-aircraft fire. Following the impact from the ground-based weaponry, the crew determined that the aircraft could no longer be safely operated and initiated an emergency bailout procedure.
After the crew successfully exited the plane, the aircraft continued its descent and crashed in a location situated south of Suwon. While the airframe was completely destroyed upon impact, all three crew members were successfully recovered by rescue teams following their jump.
Findings
Investigations into the incident concluded that the primary reason for the loss of the aircraft was the impact from anti-aircraft fire encountered during the flight phase.
