A Russian Shahed drone struck the Southern Bridge in Kyiv while a metro train was crossing the structure, causing damage to the carriage and forcing an emergency evacuation, according to Ukrainian media reports.
The drone impacted the bridge's fencing near the roadway section. Passengers aboard the train reported hearing an explosion and seeing a flash, followed by smoke filling the carriage, ash falling from ventilation systems, and windows shattering.
The train continued to Vydubychi station, where all passengers were safely evacuated. As of the latest reports, no injuries have been recorded. Emergency services are assessing the damage to the bridge and metro infrastructure.
The Southern Bridge serves as a critical transport artery connecting Kyiv's left and right banks, carrying both road and metro traffic. The attack highlights the vulnerability of civilian infrastructure to long-range drone strikes.
Ukrainian air defense units have been actively intercepting Shahed drones across the country in recent weeks, though this incident marks a rare direct hit on an operational metro line during passenger service.
