SEOUL, Sept 6 ― A fire has broken out at South Korean steelmaker POSCO's plant in the southeastern city of Pohang today, a POSCO spokesperson confirmed.
“A fire broke out at our Pohang steel plant ― two factories at the plant have been affected by the fire ― and we are trying to find out cause of the fire,” the POSCO spokesperson said in a statement, adding it was too early to tell if the fire had been caused by a typhoon that is crossing South Korea.
The impact of the fire was not immediately known. Yonhap first reported the fire.
South Korea raised its typhoon-alert to its highest level yesterday as approaching Typhoon Hinnamnor forced flight cancellations, the suspension of some business operations and the closure of schools. ― Reuters
