On October 19, 2026, a metro station in Kyiv was damaged due to Russian shelling, along with the tracks and cable network. As a result, the 'Chernihivska' and 'Lisova' stations are temporarily closed for entry and exit.
Current Train Operations
According to the Kyiv City State Administration (KCSA), train operations on the red line of the metro will resume in the morning between the 'Akhademmistetsko' and 'Darnytsia' stations according to schedule. This will allow for partial functionality of the metro under emergency conditions.
Restoration Efforts
Specialists are currently working at the site to restore and repair the damaged tracks and metro networks. The KCSA assures that all necessary measures are being taken to quickly address the aftermath of the shelling and restore normal metro operations.
Passenger Safety
Authorities urge citizens to exercise caution and follow safety recommendations while using public transport. The 'Chernihivska' and 'Lisova' stations will remain closed until the completion of repair works.
