**Deck**: Damage to the Southern Bridge in Kyiv has stopped trains on part of the city’s green metro line, as authorities report one person killed and 14 injured in overnight attacks on the capital.

Damage to Kyiv’s Southern Bridge has forced a partial shutdown of the city’s metro line that serves the left bank, underscoring how renewed strikes on the capital are again hitting everyday transport.

Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko said on 27 October that all stations on the city’s red metro line were open to passengers. Train movement between the Osokorky and Chervonyi Khutir stations on the green line, however, was temporarily suspended. He linked the stoppage to a strike on metro infrastructure on the Southern Bridge.

According to Klitschko, from the evening of 26 October, attacks on the capital killed one person and injured 14 residents. The full extent of the damage to the Southern Bridge is still being assessed.

The bridge is a key crossing for Kyiv, and the disruption on the Osokorky–Chervonyi Khutir section affects residents who rely on that stretch of the green line. With trains halted there, passengers must find alternative routes while the city evaluates when service can safely resume.

The reported bridge damage follows other recent strikes in Kyiv, including reports that Russian missiles hit Kyiv University and that the capital was targeted in an overnight ballistic missile attack.

Authorities now face two immediate tests: whether structural checks find the Southern Bridge safe enough to restore full metro operations, and whether further strikes target the city’s transport links.
