Power Outage Hits Yangju's Samsung and Mansong Neighborhoods Due to Bird Contact

A blackout occurred at around 11:00 AM on the 25th, cutting off electricity to 578 households in the Samsung-dong and Mansong-dong areas of Yangju, Gyeonggi Province.

Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) dispatched repair crews and restored power supply in about an hour.

KEPCO believes the blackout was caused by a bird coming into contact with outdoor high-voltage power facilities and is investigating the exact cause.
