SEOUL - South Korea's military has come under fire for lax discipline following a series of major accidents in recent months, including the latest involving the air force's accidental dropping of two gun pods from a KA-1 light attack aircraft during training on April 18.
The incidents came amid a leadership vacuum in the military that began in December, prompting security concerns due to signs of a weakened defence posture.
Former defence minister Kim Yong-hyun and several other key unit commanders were arrested and have been detained for their alleged roles in former president Yoon Suk Yeol's botched martial law declaration on Dec 3. Vice-Defence Minister Kim Seon-ho is serving as the acting defence minister.
