22 killed in lithium battery plant fire in South Korea

An aerial view from across the street shows the charred damage to the top corner of a commercial high-rise building. Below, dozens of helmeted fire and other rescue workers can be seen in miniature.

A fire likely sparked by exploding lithium batteries swept through a manufacturing factory near South Korea’s capital on Monday, killing 22 mostly Chinese migrant workers and injuring eight, officials said.
