On October 9, 2026, public transport in Kyiv was partially suspended in the Obolon, Podil, and Svyatoshyn districts due to a lack of power in the energy system. This occurred following morning explosions that led to power outages in the capital.
Causes of Power Outages

Impact on Public Transport
The municipal enterprise “Kyivpastrans” confirmed that in the three mentioned districts, the movement of part of the public transport has been suspended. This decision was made to ensure the safety of passengers and drivers amid unstable electricity supply.
