울진•강릉 산불 확산 밤새 저지...아침부터 헬기 재투입
South Korean authorities have spent the night exerting every effort to try and prevent a massive wildfire from spreading in the country's eastern coastal areas.
Firefighting helicopters have been deployed to the area.
The wildfires had burned over 15-thousand hectares of forest as of Sunday afternoon,... equivalent to 53 times the size of Seoul's Yeouido financial district.
More than 73-hundred people have been evacuated, but no casualties have been reported.
President Moon Jae-in has declared the worst-affected areas of Uljin, Gyeongsangbuk-do Province and Samcheok, Gangwon-do Province as special disaster zones,... so they can receive targeted emergency support.
