SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Officials say that a fire at a lithium battery manufacturing factory near South Korea's capital has left one person dead, three injured and more than 20 others missing.
Local fire official Kim Jin-young said rescue efforts were underway at the factory at Hwaseong, just south of Seoul, on Monday.
Kim says 23 people were reported missing but their identification is difficult because a register of the staff was believed to have burned.
