SEOUL, Rajab 27, 1435, May 26, 2014, SPA -- A fire at a bus terminal and shopping complex in a busy suburban neighbourhood north of Seoul killed five people and injured dozens on Monday, the latest in a series of accidents in South Korea, including a ferry disaster that killed more than 300, Reuters reported. The blaze broke out in the morning in the terminal complex that houses large shopping malls and a movie theatre. Fire officials said the fire started in the food court area where renovation was being carried out and a welding torch was likely responsible. Most of victims suffered from smoke inhalation, they said. --SPA 11:34 LOCAL TIME 08:34 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
