SEOUL: A fire erupted at an urban bus depot in Seoul early on Tuesday, burning more than a third of the 85 buses in the lot. 
 
The fire was extinguished after two hours and roughly 30 buses were heavily damaged since they were parked close together, according to the Korean (KBS WORLD) website. 
 
No casualties were reported since bus drivers and employees of the bus operator had gotten off work. 
 
Police and firefighting authorities believe the fire started in one of the parked buses. They are leaving open the possibility of arson but have yet to determine the exact cause of the fire. (QNA)
