At least 24 people have been killed and 26 have been injured as South Korea battles the most destructive wildfires in its history.
Yesterday, a firefighting helicopter crashed in the mountains of Uiseong County at around midday, killing one pilot, as rescuers struggled to contain the flames. The aircraft had no other crew members on board at the time of the crash.
