Train traffic on Kyiv metro has been halted due to lack of power. Public transport is not running in several districts (updated)
Train services and the operation of escalators on the Kyiv Metro have been temporarily suspended. This was caused by a power cut resulting from a loss of power from external power supply centres.
This was reported by Censor.NET, citing the Kyiv City State Administration’s press office.
