Black smoke is constantly emitted along with the red flames.

At around 9:10 last night, an auto parts processing company in Dalseo-gu, Daegu caught fire.

No one was injured due to the evacuation of the staff, but the first stage of the response was issued to mobilize all the personnel of the competent fire station, and a disaster text message was sent asking for a ban on access.

Fire authorities are investigating the exact circumstances, believing that the fire started due to sparks flying in the dust during the work.

Power outages were reported around 8:10 p.m. last night in Cheonan-si, Chungcheongnam-do.

Electricity was cut off for about a minute due to a substation facility responsible for local electricity supply, and some apartment complexes took more than 20 minutes to recover due to problems with their own facility's reoperation.

Earlier, a water tank exploded in an apartment complex in Chuncheon, Gangwon-do, flooding the underground substation room, causing a power outage.

With residents in their 720s experiencing great inconvenience, we plan to decide whether to resume power supply after safety checks as soon as the drainage work is completed.

At around 5:20 p.m. yesterday, a man and woman in their 50s were found stabbed to death on a farm road in Yeongdong-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do.

The police are investigating the possibility that the two made an extreme choice after killing their ex-lover based on statements from people around them that they were in a past relationship.

[Lee Young-cheol / Investigation manager of Yeongdong Police Station, Chungbuk: The son (of a dead woman) found it and reported it. I'm estimating because a weapon with blood on it has been found. You can know exactly when you get the results of the identification.]

In Jeju, the captain of a motorboat in his 60s, who entered the sea and checked for hull abnormalities, went missing.

The Coast Guard is using ships and aircraft to search.
