Korea issues temporary travel warning for Russia


SEOUL, March 11 (Yonhap) -- South Korea issued a temporary travel advisory Thursday for all its citizens planning to visit Russia until the end of May, the foreign ministry said.

The unprecedented move came after two South Korean students were separately attacked in Russia over the past month in what appeared to be hate crimes against non-Slavs. The attacks left one South Korean dead and the other seriously injured.
