Helicopters are dumping water over a burning forest in South Korea as fire crews struggle to contain the country’s worst ever wildfires.

A total of 28 people have been killed in the wildfires, which have forced at least 37,800 to flee their homes and destroyed thousands of structures and vehicles.
