South Korea police chief admits Seoul crush response was 'inadequate'

South Korea's police chief has said their emergency response to Saturday's tragic Halloween crush in Seoul was "inadequate".

At least 154 people are known to have died in the crush in Itaewon, a popular nightlife district in Seoul, where many were celebrating Halloween without restrictions for the first time since Covid.

Following growing calls for accountability, Yoon Hee-keun said he felt "limitless responsibility about public safety" over what happened.

He vowed a full investigation.
