A four-hour power outage affected 760 households in Ha Kwai House, a residential building in the Kwai Chung Estate in Hong Kong. The outage began around 9:13 PM on Sunday, triggered by a suspected equipment fault caused by a water leak. CLP Power, the city's electricity company, dispatched staff to investigate and confirmed the power facilities were operating normally. Building electricians then conducted emergency repairs, restoring power at 1:30 AM on Monday. The outage left the building in darkness, prompting residents to wait outside, and firefighters assisted an elderly woman whose breathing machine was affected, though she did not require hospitalization.
