Kyiv metro halts due to voltage drop
Kyiv's metro suspended train and escalator service on all three lines during rush hour on Thursday, October 8, due to a voltage drop from external power centers. Service on the blue and green lines later began to gradually resume with increased intervals, while the red line remains halted. The voltage shortage also temporarily stopped some ground public transport. Earlier that day, power outages, including emergency ones in Kyiv, were introduced in four regions due to Russian attacks on energy infrastructure.
