SEOUL, Oct 27 (Reuters) – A fire broke out in Guryong village, a deprived area of Seoul’s upmarket Gangnam district, on Tuesday, South Korean fire authorities said.

No injuries or casualties had been reported, a fire official told Reuters.

Some 75 firefighters and 24 fire trucks and other vehicles were deployed to tackle the blaze, the official said.

The village, located near some of Seoul’s most expensive neighbourhoods, was previously affected by a large fire in January.

Nine Years, Made Possible by Readers

In 2017, Shekhar Gupta started ThePrint with a simple belief: Indian readers want journalism that asks why and what next, not just what. And that enough of them would be willing to pay for good journalism.

And, in these nine years, we’ve stayed true to our mission. We’ve been asking the follow-up questions, going beyond the headlines and explaining what’s actually happening. We’ve travelled across the country to bring you in-depth, visually-compelling stories from the ground.

It’s been nine years of readers choosing to make this possible. If you’d like to be one of them:
