South Korea East Coast Wildfire
A wildfire burns in the eastern city of Uljin. The fire started in the eastern coastal county of Uljin earlier in the day and spread north to Samcheok. Multiple wildfires have charred east coastal mountain areas the size of more than 30,000 soccer fields over the past five days, but firefighting efforts have made slow headway hampered by thick smoke and fickle winds, officials said Tuesday. Firefighting officials said they brace for a long-term battle as numerous wildfires are simultaneously scattered over an extensive area and the wind direction changed unfavorably from the afternoon, in Uljin, South Korea, on March 8, 2022.
