2025 South Korea Wildfire, After 1 Year

On February 10, 2026, in Uiseong, South Korea, a coastal village housing complex is either completely destroyed or left charred black by the wildfire at Noml Ri in Yeongdeok, South Korea. On March 25, 2025, a wildfire ignites in Goesan-ri, Anpyeong-myeon, Uiseong-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do. Burning for five days, it sweeps through four cities, devastating 994.9 square kilometers of forest and destroying 4,458 homes. The disaster results in 28 deaths and 32 injuries. Although a year has passed since the fire is fully extinguished, the enormity of the affected area makes recovery progress slow. (Photo by Seung-il Ryu/NurPhoto)
