On the weekend of the 25th, a fighter jet suddenly flew across the Seoul sky, accompanied by a loud roar. It was not a war but a flight training exercise.

This is for the official welcoming ceremony of the state visit by the President of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The flight at 10:30 a.m. on the 25th is a practice flight, and the flight on the 29th is the main event of the official welcoming ceremony.
