    Default S. Korea fires at civilian jet thought to be North military

    Seoul, South Korea (CNN) -- Two South Korean soldiers fired at a civilian airplane after mistaking it for an aircraft from North Korea, a South Korean military official said Saturday.

    No damage was caused by the firing Friday morning, said the official, who requested anonymity in keeping with South Korean military custom.

    The two soldiers were stationed off the coast of Gyodong Island, near the North Korean border, when they fired their rifles at an Asiana Airlines flight, the military official said.

    The plane was not damaged because it was about 500 meters (547 yards) out of the range of the K-2 rifles used by two soldiers, South Korea's Yonhap news agency said, citing an unidentified military source.

    According to the Yonhap report, the plane was carrying about 119 crew and passengers from China, and was making its descent to Incheon International Airport.

    Firing at the object which is certain as an civilian airplane is to be confined in the guardhouse.
    How couldn't that marine distinguish whether that is an military aircraft from North Korea or a civilian airplane by the sound?
