Water is spewing out from the pits at the construction site.

The report of damage to the water pipe at the road construction site in Gwangju, Gyeonggi-do, was received at around 11:10 a.m. yesterday.

In the aftermath, water supply to 10,000 households in the area was cut off.

The residents stayed up all night without being able to wash or eat properly.

Authorities said they completed emergency recovery to fill the hole in the pipe more than eight hours after receiving the report, but could not supply it immediately because the water was not clean.

At around 8 p.m. last night, an explosion occurred at a wastewater treatment plant in Seoknam-dong, Incheon.

Fortunately, the explosion did not lead to a fire, but two people were treated at the hospital, with a factory official in his 40s injuring his neck and jaw.

Fire officials said they were investigating the exact cause of the explosion, saying there were difficulties in field action due to the collapse of some of the factories and the release of a lot of steam.
