A fire presumed to be caused by an explosion broke out around 8:29–8:30 a.m. on July 23 inside the management office of an apartment complex in Sadong, Gyeongsan, North Gyeongsang Province. Eight people, including residents, were injured, with several sustaining burns, and authorities say there are no fatalities so far. Police and city officials say the blast occurred while a group of apartment management office personnel were gathered, and investigators plan to question those present after firefighting ends. Eyewitnesses describe someone who did not appear to be an apartment resident entering, spraying a flammable substance and setting fire. Reports indicate preexisting conflicts between the management office and some residents, which authorities are examining as part of the probe. The investigation will continue to determine the exact cause and circumstances of the incident.
