An aircraft carrying 181 people has crashed at an airport in South Korea, killing at least 28 people, the Yonhap news agency reports. The aircraft drove off a runway and crashed into a wall at Muan International Airport in the south west of the country, the South Korean news agency reports.
The passenger plane was landing when it went off the runway in Muan, in the country’s southwest. The flight came from Bangkok and was carrying 181 people.
A passenger jet skidded off a runway and into a concrete fence, bursting into flames and killing at least 85 aboard after its front landing gear apparently failed to deploy.

South Korean media are reporting that 28 people have been confirmed dead after a plane caught fire at an airport in the country’s south.
