Four killed in South Korea construction site fire

At least four people are dead after a fire in a resort construction site in South Korea’s port city of Busan, officials say.

About 100 workers managed to evacuate from the site and about 90 firefighters were trying to put out the blaze, according to Busan’s fire agency.

It wasn’t immediately clear whether workers were still trapped inside.

The agency said six people were taken to hospitals in cardiac arrest and four of them were pronounced dead. Four other people sustained minor injuries.

Television footage showed grey-****** smoke and flames rising from the site and a helicopter approaching the building as part of rescue efforts.

South Korea’s acting president, Choi Sang-mok, instructed officials to deploy “all available personnel and equipment” to put out the fire.
