Most of the victims in the southern port city of Busan were from the Japanese town of Nagasaki and had been taking part in a school reunion outing when the blaze broke out Saturday. Six people were injured, including three Japanese nationals.

The fire occurred on the second floor of a five-storey building and took an hour to extinguish. The cause has still to be determined.
