Attack during train movement

Authorities confirmed that a Russian Shahed-type drone struck the South Bridge in Kyiv. At the time of the incident, a metro train was moving across the structure.

The UAV hit the barrier near the roadway of the bridge. Passengers initially saw a bright flash and heard a loud explosion. Immediately after, smoke began to fill the interior of the carriage, and ash fell from the ventilation openings.

Impact on the carriage and passengers

The force of the shockwave shattered the windows in the metro carriage. Despite the panic and damage, no one was injured.

The train did not stop immediately but continued moving to the nearest station, Vidubychi. Passengers were disembarked there to ensure their safety.
