At least ten people have died in a fire at an automobile factory in Daejeon, South Korea, on Friday.

According to the South Korean news agency Yonhap, 170 people were in the factory when the fire started. Ten people have been confirmed dead and 59 injured. Four people are missing.

It is unclear what caused the fire, and extinguishing efforts are being complicated by the fact that the factory contains approximately 200 kilograms of sodium, which can explode.
