Metro service in Kyiv came to a complete halt. Preliminary reports indicate that the cause was a total power outage.

The Kyiv Metro reported that all lines and escalators had stopped due to a drop in voltage from external power sources.

Service on the blue and green lines is currently being gradually restored, though trains are running at extended intervals.

Meanwhile, service on the red line remains suspended.

All underground stations of the Kyiv Metro continue to serve as shelters.
