Trolleybus and tram services have been temporarily suspended in several parts of the city of Kyiv following an overnight Russian strike that caused power outages on sections of the city's contact network.
Details: Kyiv City Military Administration reported that electric public transport services have been restricted on Holosiivskyi Avenue, at Lybidska and Demiivska squares, in the Teremky and Pechersk neighbourhoods and near Trolleybus Depot No. 1. The disruptions were caused by a loss of voltage in the overhead contact network following the large-scale attack.
Temporary bus routes have been introduced to ensure passenger transport in these areas.
In addition, delays have been recorded on several trolleybus routes due to the lack of power supply on Dehtiarivska Street, Oleksandra Dovzhenka Street and Oleny Telihy Street.
Background:
Russia conducted a large-scale combined attack on Ukraine on the night of 13-14 March using a wide range of weapons. The city of Kyiv and Kyiv Oblast came under strikes by ballistic and cruise missiles and many attack drones.
Kyiv Oblast Military Administration reported that three people had been killed in the attack on the oblast. The heaviest damage was recorded in the Brovary district, where student accommodation and industrial facilities were damaged. Residential buildings were also affected in the Bucha, Vyshhorod and Obukhiv districts.
