South Korea struggles to contain deadly wildfires

At a disaster and safety meeting, Ko stated that” strengthy winds, dry weather, and cloud are preventing rescue attempts.”

According to him, the state is “mobilising all applicable sources,” and as of right now,” 110 aircraft and more than 6, 700 employees will be deployed.”

The clouds in Uiseong was hazy and full of smoke, according to AFP reporters. To shield them from potential damage, employees at a nearby church were attempting to move traditional artefacts and conceal Buddhist statues.

According to the Korea Forest Service, the fire’s isolation price dropped from 60 to 55 % by Tuesday night.

Almost two-fifths of the rescuers who were dispatched to Uiseong have been dispatched to battle the wildfires, according to the Ministry of Interior and Safety.
