A South Korean man was killed and another injured by a North Korean land mine that may have drifted south after being swept into a river by heavy rains, a military official said.
The men found two wooden boxes containing mines while fishing near the North Korea border late yesterday, an official at the Joint Chiefs of Staff said today by telephone in Seoul. One mine exploded, killing one man instantly, said the official, who declined to be named because of department policy.
