Kyiv has temporarily altered metro and ground public transport service across the city's South Bridge following a Russian attack in the area, according to a report from Ukrinform.
The report said a train was caught in the blast wave from the attack, though it did not specify whether there were injuries to passengers or crew, or detail the extent of damage to the bridge or surrounding infrastructure.
Service changes affected the Green Line of the Kyiv metro, Ukrinform reported, along with ground public transport routes that normally cross the South Bridge.
Ukrinform's report did not specify when normal service across the affected routes is expected to resume, or provide further detail on the broader attack beyond its effect on the bridge and transit service.
Russian strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure, including transportation networks in Kyiv, have recurred periodically amid the ongoing conflict, with authorities regularly adjusting public transit routes in response to damage or security concerns.
