At least 22 people have died and about 30 more are feared trapped after a fire at a warehouse in South Korea.
Hundreds of firefighters have been called in to battle the blaze in Icheon, 80 kilometres south of the capital, Seoul.

The cause of the fire is not yet known, but witnesses reported hearing explosions coming from the basement.
