South Korea fire kills 25

A fire at a warehouse in South Korea killed 25 people yesterday, it was reported, while "all necessary" resources were being mobilised to save those still trapped inside. The blaze at the unfinished four-storey building in Icheon, east of Seoul, also left seven injured, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported. The blaze was reportedly started by an explosion during construction work involving combustible urethane used for insulation in a basement floor. Prime Minister Chung Sye-kyun ordered the mobilisation of "all necessary personnel and resources" to find and rescue those trapped inside and extinguish remaining flames.
