[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Bong-ju] A water tank burst at a sauna in Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi Province, causing a flood commotion.

At around 12:26 PM on the 24th, a water tank at a sauna and indoor swimming pool on the 4th floor of a commercial building in Minrak-dong 2nd District central shopping area, Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi Province, was damaged, causing the building's wall to collapse and flooding the surrounding area.

As the collapsed outer wall fell, one electric car parked on the ground was damaged.

The overflowing water caused flooding and chaos in the surrounding area.

Due to the heavy rain, there were not many pedestrians, so it is reported that there were no casualties.

The building also houses a kids cafe, and children attend the indoor swimming pool where the outer wall collapsed, so it nearly led to a major accident.

Additionally, the surrounding area became a scene of chaos due to the flooding.

Uijeongbu City and fire authorities plan to investigate the exact cause of the water tank rupture and the details of the accident once the site cleanup is completed.
