A mother and her three children were killed in Busan after a fire broke out in their apartment, police said Wednesday.
Firefighters said two of the dead children, a girl aged one and an eight year old boy were found in the arms of the mother, surnamed Hong, on the balcony of the property. Another nine year old daughter was found alone in a room. The father was reportedly at work during the time of the incident, police said.
Police have yet to identify the cause of the blaze which broke out at around 9.35 p.m.
A resident in the same apartment complex said, “Shortly after we heard a loud bang, flames came out of the home on the seventh floor.”
Residents were evacuated soon after the fire broke out, but six people who inhaled fumes were sent to hospital. No other injuries were reported.
