Metro train services have also been suspended between Osokorky and Chervony Khutir stations on the Green Line.
There is currently no information on when traffic across the bridge or train services on this section of the metro will resume.
On the night of October 27, Russia attacked Kyiv with ballistic missiles twice. One of the missiles struck the Southern Bridge, also damaging the metro’s above-ground infrastructure. In addition, a missile hit an administrative building in the Podilskyi district.
Following the attack, Green Line metro services were restricted to the section between Syrets and Vydubychi stations.
