A power supply disruption on Daegu Metro Line 3 temporarily halted operations across the entire line. Currently, train services have resumed on a limited section, but it remains uncertain whether normal operations will resume with the first train on the 8th.

According to Yonhap News, at approximately 7:38 PM, a power outage affected all sections of Daegu Metro Line 3. The disruption originated near Suseong Market Station and subsequently impacted other areas.

At the time of the outage, nine trains were in operation on Line 3. All trains reached nearby stations using remaining power, and passengers were safely evacuated. No separate rescue requests were reported to the police or fire authorities.

Daegu Transportation Corporation resumed bidirectional service between Chilgok Kyungdae Hospital Station and Dalseong Park Station at 8:10 PM. However, operations on the remaining sections are still suspended.

The exact cause of the power outage has not yet been determined. Daegu Transportation Corporation plans to investigate the cause of the outage starting at midnight after all operations on Line 3 have concluded.

However, depending on the recovery situation, it is possible that normal operations will not resume with the first train on the morning of the 8th. The first train on Line 3 is scheduled to depart at 5:30 AM.
