Security personnel at the apartment complex checked the security cameras and discovered that at the time, a group of five teenagers were playing in the football field next to building B1. One of them then brought homemade firecrackers into a house under construction next to the football field and set them off. Not stopping there, another teenager also set off firecrackers right in the football field area.

Shortly after, the firework exploded with a loud bang and sparks. After causing the incident, the group left. Following the explosion, the scene smelled of gunpowder.
