A middle school girl fell from the rooftop of a villa while attempting to jump to another building, resulting in severe injuries.

According to the Siheung Police Station, the incident occurred around 5:45 p.m. on June 21 at a six-story villa in Dochang-dong, Siheung City. The girl, identified as A, suffered multiple fractures and organ damage.

She was transported by helicopter to Ajou University Hospital, where she remains in critical condition and has not regained consciousness.
