An unidentified man died and around 30,000 properties were left without power in the early hours of Monday morning as a result of an explosion and fire at Energisa's power substation in Vila Progresso, in central Campo Grande.

The initial suspicion is that the substation, near the Morenão transshipment terminal, was broken into by a man in order to steal wiring and he ended up causing the incident, dying of charring. The explosion occurred at around 04:30 and the flash of the fire was seen from kilometers away and scared many people.

Due to the explosion, instability in the power grid also ended up affecting supply in other areas of the city, causing oscillations and partial and momentary power outages.

According to Energisa, by 6:30 a.m. the supply had been re-established in practically the entire region connected to the substation. The company did not say how much damage was caused by the incident.

According to firefighters who attended the incident, this would not have been the first break-in at the substation, which was installed in the region in 2022.

In a statement, the utility said that "at 4.30am on Monday (5/01) everything indicates that there was an attempt to steal cables at the Campo Grande Progresso substation, causing a short circuit inside the substation. Even though there were notices in the area warning about high-voltage equipment, the attempt ended in the death of one person. Energisa regrets what happened and will be investigating the matter through the competent bodies. The utility also informs us that there was a power outage in the region, which was fully restored at 6.36am today."

(Just Added, 5:34) The victim suffered severe second and third degree burns.

A shocking incident took place in the district of San Martín de Porres , in Lima, Peru, where a young man suffered an electric shock when climbing a high voltage pole.

The neighbors, alerted by the cries of despair, ran to help the affected person. Apparently, the young man was trying to reach some pigeons that were perching on the post, but when he was unable to do so, he extended himself to the other end, receiving the powerful discharge.

Thanks to the quick reaction of those present and the use of a van with a ladder, the young man was rescued and taken to the Cayetano Heredia Hospital .

As a result of the accident, the electrical service was suspended for five hours. The victim suffered severe second and third degree burns.
