While special warnings of strong winds have been issued around the coast of the country, typhoon-like strong winds are blowing in some areas.

There are also large and small damages.

I'm connecting with the reporter.

Reporter Hong Sung-wook, did strong winds cause casualties?

[Reporter]
Yes, it is.

It is Mt. Seorak in Gangwon-do.

A tree collapsed in a strong wind hit six passing hikers, one of whom was killed and three injured.

The accident occurred at around 8:40 a.m.

A rotten oak tree collapsed in strong winds near Naewonam Hermitage, a hermitage in Sinheungsa Mountain on Seoraksan Mountain in Sokcho.

At the same time, it hit the climbers who were going up in the direction of Ulsan Rock.In an accident involving

, 66-year-old Kang was taken to the hospital in cardiac arrest, but he died.Three men and women, including a 64-year-old Hwang, wife of

Gang, and another couple, are also being treated for shoulder and leg injuries.

At that time, the maximum wind speed at Seoraksan Mountain recorded 36.8 meters per second.

However, it is known that there were no separate measures such as control of entry.

Let's hear from a witness at the scene of the accident.

There are some places where the festival venue was ruined by strong winds?

[Reporter]
Yes, it is.

It's the Hantan River Garden Festa Festival in Pocheon, Gyeonggi-do.

Early this morning, the sudden gust of wind knocked down tents and equipment at the festival.

If you look at the screen, the tent of the festival hall is fluttering and chairs are rolling around in strong winds.

Some tents fell completely without being able to beat the strong winds.

Fortunately, no one was hurt because it was early in the morning and the festival hall was empty.

With all the tents and equipment that have been damaged currently restored, Pocheon City said the festival scheduled for the end of this month will proceed normally.

In addition, there is a series of large and small strong winds, such as falling facilities and falling trees, all over the country.

In Gangwon Province alone, more than five reports of damage were received by morning.

In particular, even in the afternoon, strong winds of 30m/s around the coast and 15m/s inland are blowing.

Residents of this area should be especially careful.

Until now, I'm Hong Seong-wook from Gangwon Report Headquarters.
