- An early investigation suggests "unauthorised structures" inside an automobile parts factory in Daejeon, South Korea, may have contributed to the high death toll in a recent fire.
- The blaze, which occurred on Friday, resulted in the deaths of at least 14 people and injured 60 others, making it one of South Korea's deadliest industrial accidents in recent years.
- Fire authorities believe the flames erupted on the first floor and spread rapidly, with residual cutting oil and grease acting as accelerants.
- Nine victims were found in a mezzanine rest area on the second floor, which was reportedly not part of the original architectural plans.
- South Korean President Lee Jae Myung visited the site on Saturday, meeting with victims' relatives and calling for safety measures during search operations.
