Four Nigerian children were killed in a fire early Monday in Ansan, Gyeonggi Province. The two girls aged 11 and 4, and boys aged 7 and 6 were siblings.
The fire broke out around 3:28 a.m., and was put out at 4:16 a.m. by firefighters at the second floor of the three-story residential building in Seonbu-dong of Danwon-gu in the city just southwest of Seoul.
Three more Nigerians including the parents of the deceased children, two Uzbeks and a Russian sustained injuries, and 37 people were evacuated.
The bereaved parents sustained burns and are receiving medical treatment at a hospital. Their youngest child -- a 2-year-old girl -- evacuated with the parents.
Police and fire authorities are looking into the cause of the fire.
