One of the damaged sites was the \u00abChernihivska\u00bb metro station on the left bank of the capital. Track and contact rails were damaged near the station, prompting the Kyiv Metro to temporarily close the \u00abChernihivska\u00bb and \u00abLisova\u00bb stations to passengers. The effects of the shelling were recorded in at least three districts of the city: Desnianskyi, Solomianskyi and Dniprovskyi. According to the State Emergency Service, the fires that broke out following the Russian strikes have already been extinguished.<\/p>\n<h2>The \u00abChernihivska\u00bb underground station and railway infrastructure have been damaged<\/h2>\n<p>As a result of a night-time attack by Russian forces, the \u00abChernihivska\u00bb metro station, located on the Sviatoshynsko-Brovarska line of the Kyiv Metro, was damaged.<\/p>\n<p>According to the mayor <strong>Vitali Klitschko<\/strong>, near the station, the running rail and contact rail were severed after being struck by debris. The cable network and other infrastructure elements were also damaged.
