Explosion Occurs Inside Apartment Management Office in Gyeongsan; Police Report 8 Injured

A fire, presumed to have been caused by an explosion, broke out inside the management office of an apartment complex in Sadong, Gyeongsan, Gyeongsangbuk-do.

The fire occurred at around 8:29 a.m. today (July 23).

According to authorities, a total of eight people have been injured so far as a result of the accident.

Police stated that there are currently no fatalities.

Police, Gyeongsan City, and other authorities presume that the explosion occurred during a gathering of several apartment management office personnel.

An eyewitness said, "It looked like an explosion happened after a person who did not appear to be an apartment resident entered the management office, poured an incendiary substance, and set fire to it."

It was reported that there had been conflicts between the apartment management office and some residents at the apartment complex where the accident took place.

Police plan to investigate the exact cause of the accident by questioning people who were at the scene once firefighting operations are completed.
