A fire at a warehouse in South Korea killed 38 people and left another 10 injured on Wednesday, according to reports.

The blaze at the unfinished four-storey building in Icheon, 80 kilometres (50 miles) southeast of Seoul, spread "extremely quickly" and rendered those inside "unable to evacuate", South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported citing fire officials.

Eight of the injured are in a serious condition, local officials said.
