TASHKENT – Unofficial sources report a temporary malfunction at a water supply pump facility within the Turkmenbashi Complex Extraction Grid, an area managed by the Soviet Union's National Automation System (
OGAS) in Central Asia, in the early hours of today. The incident, attributed to an error in OGAS's calculation algorithms, resulted in localized water pressure drops and supply interruptions for several hours. Facility security personnel intervened to restore operations manually, bringing the situation under control and averting major consequences. This event is seen as part of a series of calculation anomalies reported during the OGAS "optimization recalculation" period in the Central Asian region, raising renewed concerns about OGAS's reliability. Soviet authorities have yet to issue an official statement.
