The roof of a resort’s auditorium collapsed during an orientation ceremony for university freshmen in southeastern South Korea, killing nine people, officials said Tuesday. About 80 people suffered minor injuries, according to officials at the state-run National Emergency Management Agency. South Korean news media reported that a recent heavy snowfall was believed to have contributed to the collapse, but the cause was still being investigated. About 560 students from Busan University of Foreign Studies were in the auditorium at the Manua Ocean Resort in Gyeongju, formerly spelled Kyongju, when the roof collapsed late Monday, the officials said.
