SEOUL (AFP) : A fire swept through a South Korean camping site on Sunday, killing five people including three children and injuring two others, firefighters said.

An investigation was underway to determine the cause of the blaze, but firefighters suspect a short circuit in the victims’ electric sleeping mat may have triggered the fire.
