According to the police and fire departments, today (29th) at around 3:50 am, a fire in a remote storage warehouse in Yangju was extinguished in about 6 hours.
The fire killed Mr. A, 44, a Pakistani citizen, who was temporarily staying in a warehouse.
According to a statement from a neighbor, Mr. A is a trader and was planning to leave Korea by plane on the 9th.
