Six people have died in a fire in a resort construction site in South Korea's port city of Busan, the Yonhap News Agency reported on Friday.
Around 100 people had been evacuated, Yonhap reported, citing fire authorities.
The report said seven people had suffered injuries, but said there were fears of multiple casualties at the construction site.
