Russia strikes Pivdenny Bridge in Kyiv, Green metro line traffic restricted
Train traffic on the Syretsko-Pecherska (Green, M3) line of the Kyiv Metro was restricted on Thursday: trains are not running across the Pivdenny (South) Bridge following reports of an enemy drone hitting the bridge structure.
On Thursday, Russian forces attacked the Pivdenny Bridge in Kyiv, causing disruptions to the Green metro line. The attack led to the suspension of train traffic across the bridge, with services now operating only between Syrets and Vydubychi stations. Passengers were informed of a "red" threat level, indicating missile strikes, while a "yellow" threat level, related to drone threats, prompted escalator operations.
The "yellow" level was in effect at the time of the strike, but was lifted shortly after. Footage on social media showed a Russian drone hitting the bridge, resulting in a detonation. Another video inside a subway car crossed the bridge captured thick smoke filling the cabin. The extent of casualties from the attack remains unknown.
