Police are investigating after a fire at a shipbuilding yard in South Korea has left one person dead and seven others injured.
The incident happened at a shipyard owned by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering on Geoje Island earlier today.
It is believed the fire broke out on an 85,000 LPG tankers where engineers had been carrying out welding work.
More than 100 workers were inside this tanker at the time of the incident.
It is thought a welding flame could have been the cause of the fire.
A man, believed to be in his 50s, died after inhaling toxic gases while those injured were transferred to hospital.
In August two were killed and seven were wounded after a fire in another LGP tanker under construction.
