Two South Koreans were confirmed dead and one seriously injured in a deadly van attack in Canada, the Seoul government said Tuesday.
A government official said two were confirmed dead after being fatally injured in the van incident in Toronto on Monday (local time).
Efforts are underway to confirm the exact condition of the injured Korean, he added. The three victims' identities have not been disclosed.
The government has dispatched consular staff to local hospitals and police stations to make sure there are no more victims from the incident, the official said.
