Four trucks were carrying missile propellants when an overheated brake on one started the fire in a tunnel on an expressway near Daegu, about 300 kilometres (186 miles) southeast of Seoul, at 1420 local time (0520 GMT), according to the official of the city's fire prevention headquarters. The flames spread to the second truck behind it, but its cargo wasn't affected, he said. The drivers of the 15-ton trucks and other people in the tunnel quickly fled to safety and there were no injuries reported. The fire was put out about an hour later, the official said. However, the South Korean air force, which commissioned the transport of the parts to a civilian firm, gave a different account, saying only one truck caught fire. One fireman on site agreed, saying one truck was totally burnt while the other was fine because it was at the back. The air force also said the fuel inside the missile propellants had been burned up. In a statement, it admitted the propellants were flammable material, but stressed they do not explode, adding they were sorry for causing concern to people. The trucks were on their way to an air base in Daegu, carrying propellants for aging Nike missiles from a closed anti-aircraft missile base in Beolgyo, about 440 kilometres (273 miles) south of Seoul, South Korea's Yonhap news agency said.
