According to the fire department, a fire broke out in a residential area near Sindang Station in Jung-gu at around 1:31 am today, and a fire broke out in front of a commercial building in Hwanghak-dong 17 minutes later.
Afterwards, a report was received that a fire broke out in a two-story commercial building in Changsin-dong, Jongno-gu at around 2:31, and near a food stall in Myo-dong, Jongno-gu at around 2:31.
