3 Troops Killed In Training Accident On River

Three South Korean troops were killed and another is unconscious after their boat capsized during a river-crossing drill, the Canadian Press reports.

Eight men were on board the small boat when it flipped over Wednesday in a river in Yeoju, 65 miles southeast of Seoul, an official said.

The craft was described as a rubber raft in the Sydney Morning Herald.

The four remaining soldiers are in good condition, said the army official.
