"A fire broke out at our Pohang steel plant - two factories at the plant
have been affected by the fire - and we are trying to find out cause of the
fire," the POSCO spokesperson said in a statement, adding it was too
early to tell if the fire had been caused by a typhoon that is crossing South Korea.
The impact of the fire was not immediately known. Yonhap first
reported the fire.
South Korea raised its typhoon-alert to
its highest level on Monday as approaching Typhoon Hinnamnor forced flight cancellations, the
suspension of some business operations and the closure of schools.
