24 dead in suspected arson attack on Japan animation studio
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA suspected arson attack on an animation production company in Japan has killed 24 people and injured dozens more on Thursday, with flames gutting the building in the city of Kyoto.
Police say the fierce blaze appeared to have been started deliberately, but there is no immediate information on a possible motive.
If arson is confirmed, the attack will be among the deadliest criminal acts in decades in Japan, where violent crime is very rare.
