A pre-dawn fire in a restaurant in Seoul killed two waiters and injured four others, police officers said Thursday.
The fire broke out in a rooftop room of the three-story restaurant in central Seoul around 4:10 a.m. where the staff members were sleeping, a police officer said.
He said the four injured staff members — one man and three women — are ethnic Koreans from China and were taken to two separate hospitals for treatment. One later returned home after receiving treatment, the officer said on condition of anonymity, citing policy.
Chung Jae-ho, another police officer handling the case, said police have yet to identify the deceased and an investigation is under way to find the cause of the fire.
The fire was put out about 80 minutes later, according to police. (Yonhap)
