Four killed and flights cancelled as heavy snowfall blankets Seoul

South Korea's capital has been hit by some of the heaviest snowfall in a century, with dangerous conditions wreaking havoc on transport

South Korea grappled with heavy snowfall for a second day on Thursday, with dozens of flights cancelled, ferry operations suspended and at least four people reported dead in a bitter winter, though conditions showed signs of easing.

Thursday's snowfall was the third-heaviest in capital Seoul since records began in 1907, the Yonhap news agency said, citing city data. The previous day broke all snowfall records for November.
