South Korea shoots to kill

South Korean troops have killed another North Korean infiltrator, bringing to 22 the number of Pyongyang agents shot dead after coming ashore from a submarine on 18 September, the defence ministry said.

A spokesman also said that a South Korean soldier, 21-year-old sergeant Han Dae-sung, was gunned down by colleagues who mistook him for an infiltrator. Five Southern soldiers and one civilian have been killed during the manhunt for the estimated 26 intruders. Reuter - Seoul
