SEOUL: A fire broke out in an eight-storey fitness centre in the South Korean city of Jecheon on Thursday (Dec 21), killing at least 29 people, most of them as they were taking a sauna, a fire station official said.
An AFP report said that the fire broke out at around 4pm local time (3pm Singapore time) and quickly engulfed the entire building, leaving many trapped inside.

Twenty victims were found at a public sauna and others elsewhere in the building that houses a fitness centre, public bath and restaurants, the National Fire Agency said.
