SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korean leader Kim Jong-il may have entered China by train on a visit, South Korean news reports said on Tuesday, quoting sources in China and South Korea.

There was unusually heavy security near the Chinese city of Dandong's train station and talk of a special train from North Korea passing through before dawn on Tuesday, South Korea's Yonhap news agency quoted a source in the city as saying.

In Beijing, China's foreign ministry had no immediate comment on the reports, but North Korea's embassy there said it had no knowledge of the rumoured visit.

"We don't know ... We have nothing to do with this," the embassy spokesman said, adding there were no plans for a visit.
