South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol ordered a period of national mourning Sunday after at least 153 people were killed in a crowd stampede in Seoul.

The crowd rush occurred during Halloween festivities as a massive crowd pushed into a narrow alleyway, crushing those in the middle of the group. Mourners laid flowers at the scene hours after first responders described carrying body after body out of the alleyway, finding few alive.

Seoul officials have received more than 350 missing persons reports following the tragedy.

"This is truly tragic," Yoon said in a statement. "A tragedy and disaster that should not have happened took place in the heart of Seoul last night.

A crowd surge in Seoul claims at least 153 lives.
