The P-3 patrol jet took off from its base in the southern city of Pohang at 1:43 p.m. and crashed for unclear reasons, according to a Navy statement. It stated that it had identified and was retrieving the remains of the four crew members.

There were no early reports of civilian casualties on the scene. The navy organised a task team to examine the disaster and temporarily grounded its P-3s.

An emergency office in Pohang claimed that rescuers and fire vehicles were deployed to the scene after locals reported that an aeroplane crashed on a hill near an apartment complex, causing a fire.

Photos show firefighters and rescue vehicles near the incident site, with flames flashing and smoke engulfing trees. Firefighters poured water on what seemed to be aeroplane debris.
