Tragédie en Corée du Sud : 10 morts dans l'incendie d'une usine à Daejeon

A fire of rare intensity ravaged an auto parts factory in Daejeon , in central China, on Friday. The provisional death toll is high: 10 people died and 59 others were injured .

A sudden and devastating blaze

The fire broke out around 1:00 PM (local time), while nearly 170 workers were on site. While the cause of the blaze remains unknown, the intensity of the flames surprised all the staff.

Rescue efforts hampered by chemical hazard

The firefighters' intervention turned into a high-stakes operation for two main reasons:

  1. Risk of collapse: The building's structure, weakened by the heat, limited access to certain areas for many hours.
  2. Explosive threat: The site contained approximately 200 kg of sodium , a highly reactive metal that can cause massive explosions when exposed to moisture or during improper handling.
Official reaction: Faced with the scale of the tragedy, South Korean President Lee Jae Myung demanded the immediate mobilization of all available resources, both human and technical, to secure the site and treat the victims.
