Carbon Dioxide Leak at Anam Station on Subway Line 6; Trains Temporarily Bypassed Station
At approximately 10:40 a.m. today (June 16), carbon dioxide was released at Anam Station on Seoul Subway Line 6, prompting the evacuation of passengers and station staff, and causing trains to temporarily pass through the station without stopping.

The incident was identified as having occurred during a fire safety inspection at a substation on the first basement level of Anam Station.

There were no casualties, and Seoul Metro resumed normal train operations and station services at 11:01 a.m. after confirming safety once all the carbon dioxide had been ventilated.
