Quote from Kyiv Metro: "On 15 February at about 22:30, localised damage to individual elements of the suspended ceiling at one of the exits was recorded. There were no casualties… Teremky metro station is operating as usual, and train services are running without changes."

Details: Kyiv Metro said that the incident occurred due to "repeat prior damage to the exit structures sustained during attacks".

"Some defects were hidden and not visible during visual inspections," they added.

Experts continue to examine the suspended ceiling and the underground passage at the station.

Nykyforuk said that no one was injured at Chernihivska station either.

"Plaster fell there. It was promptly cleared. The cause is currently being established. Experts will additionally examine both stations – Chernihivska and Teremky," she noted.
