WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 13th May, 2021) Colonial Pipeline announced that it has initiated the restart of operations after halting them due to a ransomware cyberattack, but will need several days to return to normal.

"Colonial Pipeline initiated the restart of pipeline operations today at approximately 5 p.m. ET. Following this restart, it will take several days for the product delivery supply chain to return to normal," the company said in a statement on Wednesday.
