Kharkov Public Transportation Disrupted Following Overnight Attacks
Kharkov, Ukraine – November 8, 2025 – Public transportation in Kharkov is experiencing significant disruptions following a large-scale Russian missile attack overnight, resulting in widespread power outages across the city.
The Kharkov Metro has suspended operations due to power supply issues. According to a statement from the Kharkov Metro press service, “Due to a problem with power supply, it is temporarily unachievable to start running trains along the metro lines. The metro is operating in shelter mode.” https://t.me/kh_metro/2070 The metro administration has stated they will provide updates on the resumption of service as soon as possible.
While the metro is fully halted, other forms of public transport are affected but not entirely stopped. The Kharkov City Council reports that some trams and trolleybuses are still running in certain areas.https://www.kharkivada.gov.ua/en/news/24118 Where electric transport is unavailable, buses have been deployed to maintain service on key routes.
These disruptions come as Kharkov implements emergency power outage schedules in response to the damage sustained during the overnight attacks. The attacks targeted critical infrastructure, leading to significant strain on the power grid.
moreover, Ukrzaliznytsia (Ukrainian Railways) has announced cancellations and delays to train services to and from Kharkov, citing safety concerns and infrastructure damage. https://www.ukrzaliznytsia.com/en
