U.S. President Barack Obama promised Wednesday to respond to Ebola "in a much more aggressive way," hours after a second nurse in Texas who tested positive for the disease earlier in the day was found to have taken a flight before she was ill.
U.S. authorities on Tuesday have broadened the pool of health care workers getting monitored for Ebola at a hospital in the city of Dallas in northeastern Texas after one of them tested positive for the deadly disease.
At least 21 people were killed and eight others injured in a fire that occurred at a sanatorium in Jangseong, some 300 kms south of the South Korean capital city of Seoul, early on Wednesday, local broadcaster YTN reported.
