A huge blaze has engulfed the entirety of a 33-storey apartment block in South Korea.

The fire, which is believed to have started on the 12th floor of the residential building at around 11.07pm local time, has swept through the whole block in the Dal Dong district of Ulsan, a city northwest of Busan.

When the fire broke out firefighters rushed to clear the 136-household block of all residents.
