Un incendio daña una puerta del palacio Gyeongbok y es extinguido en 15 minutos

Un incendio se desató la madrugada del sábado en el palacio Gyeongbok de Seúl, dañando parte de una puerta de madera y un pilar, pero fue extinguido en 15 minutos sin causar víctimas. El Servicio del Patrimonio de Corea señaló la combustión espontánea como una posible causa.

Un incendio se produjo alrededor de las 5:35 a.m. del 28 de marzo cerca de Sambimun, la puerta exterior del salón Jaseondang en el palacio Gyeongbok, en el centro de Seúl. Un guardia de seguridad que patrullaba la zona lo extinguió alrededor de las 5:50 a.m., según el Servicio del Patrimonio de Corea (KHS, por sus siglas en inglés).

El fuego dañó parcialmente una puerta de madera y un pilar del palacio real, pero no se reportaron víctimas. Las autoridades contra incendios inspeccionaron el lugar y señalaron la combustión espontánea como una causa potencial. No se encontraron rastros de personas ni de materiales inflamables en el sitio.

El administrador del KHS, Huh Min, publicó en X, anteriormente Twitter, que se está llevando a cabo una investigación sobre la causa exacta. Se comprometió a operar un centro de desastres las 24 horas durante la temporada seca para prevenir incidentes similares.

El palacio Gyeongbok, el mayor de los complejos reales de Seúl, atrajo alrededor de 6.9 millones de visitantes el año pasado, lo que representa el 38.7 por ciento de todas las visitas a palacios y tumbas reales.
