South Korea Restores 46 Services After Major Data Centre Fire, Says Safety Minister

South Korea has succeeded in restoring 46 digital services following a destructive fire at one of its key data centres, government officials said. The blaze had caused widespread disruption to communication and online platforms earlier.

The Safety Minister announced that service recovery is ongoing, with teams working to bring back full functionality across affected systems. Authorities are also investigating the fire’s cause and implementing measures to prevent similar incidents.

The outage highlighted the vulnerability of critical infrastructure and the importance of resilience in digital networks. With many daily operations—public and private—dependent on continuous service, the restoration marks a crucial step toward stability.
