According to the report, a total of 81 online public services, including a major government portal and the banking arm of the national postal service, were restored on Monday following an outage caused by a fire at the state data management agency. As of 10 p.m., 12.5 percent of the 647 public administration systems that were suspended in the wake of Friday's fire at the National Information Resources Service (NIRS) in Daejeon, about 140 kilometers south of Seoul, were back online, according to the government.
The report also stated that restored services included GOV.KR, a major government portal for civil application services, the interior ministry's mobile identification system, the Office for Government Policy Coordination state management system, and the science ministry's internal portal for postal logistics.
The report added that the 96 systems include the national law information center run by the Ministry of Government Legislation, the National Counterterrorism Center website, and the online government briefing system. President Lee Jae Myung apologized to the nation on Sunday, saying the people are experiencing "great inconvenience and anxiety" due to the fire.
In addition to the report, the fire began after a lithium-ion battery exploded in a server room on the fifth floor of the NIRS and was completely extinguished at 6 p.m. Saturday, some 22 hours after the outbreak, authorities said. Police have formed an investigation team comprising around 20 people to determine the cause of the fire, while three investigators specializing in lithium-ion batteries have additionally been assigned to the task, a police official told reporters during a regular press briefing.
The agency also clarified in response to reports that the batteries caught fire as they were being replaced that they were being relocated to the basement to be separated from servers.
