Fire at Seoul palace

The Gwanghwamun area of downtown Seoul is covered with thick smoke on Monday morning after a fire broke out at the construction site of the National Museum of Contemporary Art at Gyeongbok Palace. The blaze killed four workers and injured 24 others. Firefighters put out the fire completely about an hour after it erupted, but visitors to the palace and the Korea Folk Museum nearby had to evacuate due to smoke.
