Firefighters try to enter the container where gray smoke leaks out.

A fire broke out in a container inside a fertilizer factory in Seoun-myeon, Anseong-si, Gyeonggi-do at around 9 p.m. last night.

The fire was extinguished in 50 minutes, and a body was found inside.

Police and fire authorities are identifying the containers accurately based on officials' statements that they used them as staff rest areas.

Yesterday morning, a container fire was also reported in the village of Yangpyeong-eup, Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do.

The fire had already been extinguished, and a woman in her 70s, a village resident, was dead.

[An official from Yangpyeong Fire Station in Gyeonggi-do: The villagers reported that they could see a human figure in there.... It's very likely that the fire started a few days ago. When I touched the container, it was very cold.]

The police plan to ask the National Forensic Service to conduct an autopsy to determine the cause of A's death.

The house was charred all over, and the ceiling melted down to the wallpaper.

The fire broke out on the fourth floor of an apartment building in Seobuk-gu, Cheonan-si, Chungcheongnam-do, at around 6:40 p.m. yesterday.

A total of three people, including the residents in the house, inhaled smoke and received hospital treatment.
