Two Dead Two Injured as Korean Jet Is Shot Down
A South Korean Boeing 707 bound Paris to Seoul with refueling in Anchorage was intercepted by Soviet fighters and forced to land on a frozen lake near Kem in the northwest Soviet Union. Two passengers were killed and two injured, with Japanese sources naming a dead passenger as Japanese citizen Y Sugano. The plane reportedly suffered damage, and authorities say the landing was an emergency measure after the interception. Soviet Tass reported arrangements to repatriate passengers and crew, while another KAL flight stood by in Helsinki to assist.
