Wildfires raging in South Korea doubled in size on March 27 from a day earlier, as authorities called the blazes the country’s worst natural fire disaster with at least 26 people killed and historic temples incinerated. More than 33,000 hectares have burned or remain ablaze in the central Uiseong county, making it the largest single forest fire in South Korea’s history. Over 120 helicopters have been deployed in three regions to battle the fire, the safety ministry said. The blazes have cut off roads and downed communications lines, sparking panic in fleeing residents.
