A plane carrying 181 people has crashed at an airport in South Korea, killing at least 28 people, Yonhap news agency reports.
The plane veered off the runway and hit a wall at Muan International Airport in the southwest of the country, South Korea’s state news agency said.
The Jeju Air plane, which was carrying 175 passengers and 6 pilots, is said to be flying from Bangkok in Thailand and the accident happened while landing.
One person has been found alive as rescue operations continue, according to Yonhap.
Emergency workers were trying to rescue people in the tail of the plane, an airport official told Reuters.
The cause of the crash is unclear but a bird strike may have caused the landing gear to malfunction, Yonhap reports.
