The AH-64 Apache helicopter went down on Monday night on a road in Wonju, 50 miles (80km) east of the US Camp Humphrey's base, said the US Army.

The Army has not identified the dead crew members, but said they were both pilots - no other casualties or damage were reported.

South Korea's Yonhap news agency said the cause of the crash was being investigated, but that officials believe it may have hit power lines.
