Wildfires have been ravaging South Korea leaving at least 18 dead, 19 injured and thousands evacuated.

The “unprecedented” crisis remains critical, according to acting president Han Duck-soo, who said the fires are “rewriting the record books for the worst wildfires in our nation’s history”.

Several heritage cultural sites, including the Unramsa temple, have been affected by the fire.

Videos posted on social media show fires burning around the historic temple.

The blazes raging in the city of Uiseong burned down the Gounsa Temple, built in 618 AD, which was one of the largest temples in the province.
