SEOUL - THREE South Korean marines were killed on Wednesday when the guard post at their base collapsed on them, military officials said.
A 22-year-old corporal and a 20-year-old private were found dead under the debris of the two-storey building in the southeastern city of Pohang, a Marine Corps spokesman told AFP.
The corps said a joint team has been established to investigate the cause of the accident.
Yonhap news agency said an initial investigation suggested that the guard post, built in 1970, caved in under the weight of sandbags placed on its roof for protection against the elements. -- AFP
