Kyiv Metro restores train service on all lines after overnight strike

Train service fully restored

The municipal enterprise "Kyiv Metro" informs that on Saturday morning, train movement on all lines of the capital's underground system was restored following the overnight attack.

Risks associated with power grid operation

Meanwhile, the enterprise's press service warns that due to frequent and significant voltage fluctuations from external power sources, temporary suspension of movement or increased intervals between trains is possible. There is also a risk of short-term escalator stoppages.

As stated in the official message, once the external power supply system stabilises, the metro's operation will return to normal mode.

«Рух поїздів на всіх лініях метрополітену відновлено. Водночас через часті та значні коливання напруги від зовнішніх джерел живлення на лініях метро можливе тимчасове призупинення руху або збільшення інтервалів між поїздами. Також можливі короткочасні зупинки ескалаторів. Після стабілізації роботи системи зовнішнього електропостачання рух поїздів відновлюватиметься» (Train movement on all metro lines has been restored.

Passenger information and shelter mode

Enterprise staff reminded that up-to-date data on the status of the lines is announced directly on station platforms. It was also emphasised that during air raid alerts, all 46 underground stations of the Kyiv Metro operate around the clock in shelter mode.
