Kyiv halts red metro line trains after power grid voltage swings

Kyiv halted train service on the city's "red" metro line on Thursday, November 5, due to significant voltage fluctuations from external power centers, according to the Kyiv City State Administration. Other subway lines continue operating normally. The "blue" and "green" metro lines remain in regular operation, while authorities said they would provide additional updates on when the red line service would resume. The suspension was announced as a temporary measure. The disruption follows a period of instability in the energy system after Russian strikes, with tram and trolleybus service also suspended since November 3. Bus replacements were deployed on some routes, and water supply was restored using backup power.
