Andong

An Andong resident who evacuated but lost her home told the BBC her family and their neighbours were caught off guard by the fires.

Andong, one of the worst-hit cities, is known for its tranquil pine forests.

The wildfires first broke out last Friday in Sancheong County, in the country's southeast, but have now spread to neighbouring cities of Uiseong, Andong, Cheongsong, Yeongyang and Yeongdeok.

I continued south by car for two hours to reach the Gyeongsangbuk province, home to the Andong Hahoe Hanok Village nestled into a flat and sandy ox bow of the Nakdong River.

On Thursday, outside the Andong courthouse, advocates held a rally demanding the maximum punishment for Mr. Moon.
