UISEONG, (South Korea): Inhabitants of a Unesco-listed village were ordered to evacuate while a historic Buddhist temple was burned to the ground as South Korea scrambled to contain worsening wildfires, which are tearing across the country's southeast.
More than a dozen different blazes broke out over the weekend, with four people killed as dry windy weather hampered efforts to contain one of the country's worst-ever fire outbreaks, prompting the government to transfer thousands of prisoners.
