South Korea: Fire breaks out from parking tower
Seoul: A fire broke out on Monday morning from a parking tower in southeastern South Korea, with no casualty reported, according to Yonhap news agency.
The parking tower linked to a studio apartment building in downtown Busan, about 330 km southeast of the capital Seoul, was engulfed by the flame at about 6:32 a.m. local time.
No injury was reported, but tens of people inhaled smoke, an official of the Busan fire authorities was quoted as saying.
