Air Busan Airbus catches fire, injuring seven at Gimhae Airport

News summary

On Tuesday night, an Air Busan Airbus A321 caught fire at Gimhae International Airport in South Korea while preparing for a flight to Hong Kong. All 176 people on board were safely evacuated, though seven sustained minor injuries. Witnesses reported that the fire appeared to start from a passenger's luggage, possibly due to an auxiliary battery.
