A fire broke out at a logistics center in Seohae-gu, Incheon, where Coupang is located, at around 5:30 PM yesterday (the 19th), prompting about 3,000 people to evacuate.

Fire authorities stated that the fire had already been self-extinguished by the time they arrived at the scene, and there were no injuries.

Authorities are investigating the exact cause of the fire, focusing on the possibility that it started in the electrical switchboard of the basement machine room.
