Captain Seok Remains Critical but Stable Condition

South Korean doctors said on Sunday that Seok Hae-kyun, captain of the Samho Jewelry, remains in stable condition.

The medical team from Ajou University Hospital said the condition of the wounded captain freed from Somali pirates is critical but stable after a more than three-hour long surgery.

The medical team added that it is too early to know whether his condition is life-threatening and that the two or three days after Sunday will be the most critical time for Seok.

The hospital has been treating the captain since he was flown into Seoul from Oman late Saturday night.

The bullets are reported to have ruptured Seok's liver and large intestine and the medical team has removed two bullets from his legs.
