Daejeon: A total of 157 online government services have been restored in the aftermath of an outage caused by last month's fire at the state data management agency, the government said Monday.

According to Yonhap News Agency, as of 6 p.m., the restoration rate reached 24.3 percent after 157 of the 647 services affected by the fire at the National Information Resources Service (NIRS) in the central city of Daejeon were brought back online, as reported by the central disaster response headquarters. The government-wide intranet, Onnara System, is now available, they added.

The government announced plans to accelerate efforts to bring the remaining services back online. This includes mapping out strategies to relocate 96 systems destroyed in the fire to another national data center in Daegu, about 235 kilometers southeast of Seoul, by Tuesday.

The incident originated from a lithium-ion battery explosion in a server room on the fifth floor of the NIRS on September 26 and was fully extinguished the following day. In response to the fire, the government shut down 647 online systems as a precautionary measure to protect the systems from potential overheating due to temperature and humidity control malfunctions.

Out of the affected services, 436 are public programs, while 211 are intranet systems used by government officials.
