Twelve people have suffered slight injuries after a passenger opened an emergency exit door during a plane flight in South Korea, causing air to blast inside the cabin, officials said.

Some people on board the Asiana Airlines Airbus A321 aircraft tried to stop the person, who was able to partially open the door, the transport ministry said. The plane landed safely.
