As of October 28, 2026, train services on the green line of the Kyiv metro have been restored between the stations "Osokorky" and "Chervonyi Khutir" following the attack on the Southern Bridge that occurred on October 27. However, there is currently no information regarding the resumption of service to the right bank.

Details of the Attack on the Southern Bridge

As a result of the attack on October 27, the following elements were damaged:

  • reinforced concrete structure of the bridge span;
  • automobile passages;
  • metro structures;
  • engineering communications.

The Kyiv City State Administration (KCSA) reported that primary cable networks for electricity supply, signaling, and communication have already been restored, allowing for the resumption of train services on the specified section.

Next Steps for Restoration

Currently, work is ongoing to inspect and repair the damaged structures. Specialists from the "Kyivavtoshlyakhmist" are carrying out repairs in areas without critical damage. Results of the damage assessment are expected to be ready early next week, after which decisions will be made regarding the further restoration of the bridge and the ground section of the green metro line.

Situation with Metro on the Right Bank

At this time, there are no forecasts for the resumption of metro service to the right bank. The KCSA plans to receive the inspection report for the Southern Bridge at the beginning of next week, which will serve as the basis for making technical decisions regarding the restoration.
