Many people killed in a fire in South Korea hospital

A large fire in a hospital in the South Korean city of Miryang has killed dozens of people.

The fire probably started on the first floor at the emergency department of the Sejong hospital. The BBC reports that at the moment the fire broke out there were about two hundred patients in the hospital and an adjacent nursing home. The fire brigade had extinguished the fire, which was limited to the first floor, after three hours.
