打死五名士兵的韓國士兵被包圍

South Korean troops have surrounded a soldier who fled his border outpost after killing five of his comrades Saturday.

South Korean military authorities say they are trying to persuade the soldier to surrender. They said one platoon leader was wounded when the runaway soldier, identified only by his surname Yim, fired on the military personnel closing in on him.

Yim had opened fire with his standard issue K2 assault rifle at an outpost near the North Korean border in Gangwon province, east of Seoul. In addition to the five dead soldiers he wounded seven others.

Thousands of troops from the rival Koreas are squared off along the world's most heavily armed border.

There is no indication North Korea is involved.韓國軍隊包圍了一名士兵，這名士兵星期六打死五名戰友後逃離邊界哨所。

韓國軍方當局說，在試圖勸說這名士兵投降。當局透露這名士兵姓林。說他向圍捕他的士兵開槍，打傷了一名排長。

出事地點在首爾以東的江源道，離朝鮮邊境不遠。林姓的士兵在一個哨所用k2突擊步槍開火。除了打死五名士兵外，他還打傷七個人。

朝鮮和韓國雙方在三八線這條世界設防最嚴密的邊界兩側部署了大量兵力。

沒有跡象顯示朝鮮捲入了這次事件。
