At around 8 a.m. on the 13th, a fire broke out on the 4th floor of a lodging facility in Wolsan-dong, Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, and was extinguished in about an hour.

There were no casualties from the fire, but one room was completely burned down.

The room where the fire started was being rented out monthly by the lodging facility and was reportedly vacant as the tenant had recently moved out.

The police are investigating the exact circumstances, keeping open the possibility of arson based on witness statements describing a loud explosion and the fire occurring in an empty house with no one inside.
