The founder of the Unification Church was injured when the helicopter carrying him and his family crashed in South Korea.

Rev Sun Myung Moon, 88, was among several people on the aircraft when it made an emergency landing at Gapyeong, 40km (25 miles) east of Seoul.

News agencies quoted officials as saying Rev Moon's injuries were slight.

The casualties were taken to Cheongshim Hospital, which is owned by the Church, Yonhap news agency reported.

A police spokesman at Gapyeong said all 16 aboard were slightly injured in the emergency landing but he had no information on their identities.

Only one serious injury was reported. After confirming that Moon was OK, hospital staff moved him and his wife to a private room.
