Details: Electric-powered public transport services have been temporarily suspended in parts of the Pecherskyi, Solomianskyi and Shevchenkivskyi districts of Kyiv due to a lack of voltage in the power system.
Kyivpasstrans said that services on the funicular and tram routes No. 1 and No. 3 have been suspended.
Further updates on the resumption of services and any changes to public transport operations will be provided later.
Background:
- Russian forces carried out a combined attack on Ukraine. Several air-raid warnings were issued in the city of Kyiv and some oblasts on the night of 13-14 October. The capital is experiencing power cuts.
- As of the morning of 14 October, power outages were recorded for consumers in the city of Kyiv and in Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Khmelnytskyi and Zaporizhzhia oblasts as a result of the latest Russian attack on the energy grid.
- Following problems caused by Russian attacks, water pressure has been reduced in Kyiv's Shevchenkivskyi, Solomianskyi and Pecherskyi districts.
