U.S. SPY PLANE GOES DOWN IN KOREA (South Korea that is).
Korean news reports said the plane hit a house and a motor vehicle repair center, setting off an explosion that burned down the buildings while the owner of the garage was on a break.
A Korean defense ministry spokesman said four Koreans were taken to a nearby hospital and treated for injuries that he described as "not serious."
The crash came at a time of increasing tensions over North Korea's weapons program, and disputes between the United States and South Korea over policy toward the North.
