– Two South Korean spy agents were killed in the line of duty last month in Nepal during devastating landslides caused by heavy rain, sources said Tuesday.

The two agents from the National Intelligence Service, both former Army special commandos, were swept away and killed late last month by landslides near their residence after heavy rain in Nepal, the government sources said.

The spy agency declined to reveal their identities or the exact circumstances of their deaths, citing spy agency regulations.
