4th victim dies following apartment office arson in southeastern city

The death toll from an arson attack on an apartment management office in Gyeongsan, South Korea, has risen to four following the death of a woman in her 50s who sustained burns while undergoing treatment in a hospital in neighboring Daegu, according to police. The attack, which took place on July 23, involved an apartment resident, surnamed Ryu, who poured flammable material inside the office and set it ablaze, injuring eight people, including himself.

Ryu, who is in his 70s, is also receiving treatment for full-body burns and is expected to be questioned by the police once his condition improves.
