South Korea cut off electric power transmission to the Gaesong industrial complex in North Korea, officials said Thursday.
Power transmission was halted at 11:53 p.m., unification ministry officials said, adding that the measure will automatically lead to a halt of water supplies to the complex.
South Korea announced Wednesday it would suspend the operation of the complex in response to the North's nuclear and missile tests. The North responded by seizing all assets in the complex and expelling South Korean personnel from there.
All 280 South Koreans who had been at the complex returned home Thursday night. (Yonhap)
