Almost 52,000 people, including 4,500 children, sheltered in Kyiv subway stations during another massive missile attack on Kyiv on 26 August.
The Kyiv city administration announced this in a statement, the CFTS portal reports.
“Passengers hurrying to get to work, parents with children, the elderly, pet owners with their pets - everyone found refuge in subway stations,” said Mykola Povoroznyk, first deputy head of the Kyiv city administration.
According to him, despite the number of people in the vestibules and on the platforms of subway stations, subway workers ensured uninterrupted operation of subway trains and reliable operation of the stations as bomb shelters.
Subway stations resumed normal operations and subway trains returned to their normal schedules after a long air-raid alert.
