Osaka: A passenger plane of South Korea's Asiana Airlines skidded off the runway when landing at the Hiroshima Airport in Japan late Tuesday, leaving at least 22 people slightly injured.

The Airbus A320 ran halfway through the runway after landing, skidded off to the left and turned around in the opposite direction before it managed to halt, and fire and smoke were seen coming from the engines, said the Japanese broadcaster NHK.
