Fire in S.Korea shooting range kills 8 Japanese
SEOUL (Reuters) - A fire that tore through a South Korean indoor shooting range killed eight Japanese visitors and two South Koreans, including the group's Korean guide, the fire service said on Sunday.
Most of the victims in the southern port city of Busan were from the Japanese town of Nagasaki and had been taking part in a school reunion outing when the blaze broke out on Saturday. Six people were injured, including three Japanese nationals.
The fire occurred on the second floor of a five-storey building and took an hour to extinguish. The cause has still to be determined.
