The death toll from a plane crash at Muan International Airport in South Korea has climbed to 96, according to the South Jeolla Fire Service.

Among the deceased were 47 men, 48 women, and one child whose gender has yet to be confirmed.

Authorities said most of the remaining passengers and crew are presumed dead, based on an earlier update provided by the fire service.

The aircraft, carrying 175 passengers and six crew members on a flight from Bangkok, Thailand, was attempting to land when the accident occurred.

A Muan fire official said two survivors had been found, and rescue operations were ongoing.

Authorities were focusing their efforts on rescuing passengers trapped in the tail section, according to an airport official.

Video footage shared by local media showed the twin-engine aircraft skidding down the runway without landing gear before crashing into a wall, causing a fiery explosion.

Other images showed smoke and flames engulfing sections of the plane.
