Acting President and Finance Minister Choi Sang-mok has ordered the government to mobilize all available resources for a rescue operation in the airplane crash at Muan International Airport.

According to the Finance Ministry, Choi held a meeting of the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters at 9:50 a.m. Sunday and issued the order to the acting interior minister, the land minister, and chiefs of fire authorities and police.

The acting president also urged special caution to prevent safety accidents involving firefighters and others during the rescue operations.

Choi then left for the airport in South Jeolla Province.
