The families of some of the victims in the Sewol ferry disaster protested at South Korea's Mokpo port on Saturday, as work began to search the wreckage for the remains of the last nine victims of the 2014 sinking.

Most of the 304 people who died when the Sewol sank on April 16, 2014 were teenagers on a school trip.

The protesting relatives were criticising the government's decision to exclude victims' families from the investigation, demanding they be allowed to find out why their children died.

The wreck was raised from the sea floor last week, and was brought to the port on Friday.
