Earlier, at about 8:15 p.m. on the 26th of last month, a fire broke out due to a lithium-ion battery explosion in the computer room on the fifth floor of the NIRS building in Hwaam-dong, Yuseong-gu, Daejeon. Damage to systems affected by the fire caused government services to go down across the board. The government has continued recovery work through the 27th day since the incident occurred. The government set a goal of normalizing most government systems by the 20th of next month.
