In the deep night, red flames burn fiercely in residential alleys.

Cars parked in front of the building were also completely engulfed in flames.

Around 3:30 a.m. today, a six-story multi-family house in Seongnae-dong, Gangdong-gu, Seoul caught fire.

About 20 residents who were sleeping quickly evacuated to the rooftop, but

[Fire Witness] There was a constant sound of the glass breaking as if it were exploding. Rooftop. Rooftop. Please save me. Help me, please. I've been like that.]

A total of six people were injured and taken to the hospital, including a man in his 40s who suffered a full-body burn.

Fire officials are investigating the exact cause of the fire, believing that the fire, which started from a parked vehicle, has been transferred to a Philotti-structured residential building.

You can see broken taxis and cars between fire trucks, ambulances, and police cars on one side of the road.

It was around 11:30 p.m. last night that seven cars hit one after another on the riverside road across Seoul along the Han River.

A total of eight people, including the driver and two taxi passengers, were injured and taken to the hospital.

A drunk car driven by a man in his 30s crashed into a taxi ahead and caused the first accident, leading to a series of crashes as the cars that followed failed to avoid it.

At around 5 p.m. yesterday, a fire broke out at the pollack processing plant in Jumunjin-eup, Gangneung, Gangwon-do.

The fire was extinguished in two hours and there were no casualties, but two buildings were completely burned, causing property damage estimated by the fire department of 490 million won.
