[ TERMINAL ACCESS: GLOBAL FEED ]

EX-HIST NEWS SERVICE - GLOBAL FEEDBUENOS AIRES - A portion of the equipment at a key regional hydropower plant in Argentina's Pachamama Valley, under the jurisdiction of the South American Union (SAU), temporarily ceased operation early yesterday morning, causing localized infrastructure disruption. The SAU Technical Bureau announced that the incident was limited in scale and restoration was completed within several hours.The incident occurred at approximately 3:15 AM local time. A malfunction in the control system of the main irrigation sluice gate at the Pachamama Valley Hydropower Plant led to a temporary overflow of water, causing minor flooding in some downstream agricultural areas. Concurrently, instability in the power grid supplied by the plant disrupted access to the "Global Feed" for approximately two hours in the surrounding region.An SAU Technical Bureau official explained, "This was an unpredictable electronic malfunction in an older type of control unit, not a systemic design flaw in the overall infrastructure." Within hours of the incident, a specialized SAU technical team was dispatched to the site and implemented emergency repairs. As a result, power supply and Global Feed connectivity were almost fully restored shortly after 8:00 AM. Regarding the flooded agricultural land, the SAU Disaster Response Team has initiated rapid drainage operations, and the impact on harvests is expected to be limited.The Pachamama Valley is known as a model region for sustainable, multi-layered agriculture promoted by the South American Union and is considered a symbol of "coexistence with Pachamama (Mother Earth)." While this incident demonstrated the Union's robust infrastructure and rapid response capabilities, it also served as a reminder of the importance of maintenance for some older equipment.
