The Metro bridge in the city of Kyiv has been blocked over a bomb threat.
The Kyiv police say they have received a phone call from eyewitnesses who have reported that on the bridge there was "a man who claims that a bomb has been planted" there and it may explode.
Traffic along the bridge has been halted.
Several subway stations in Kyiv – Dnipro, Hydropark and Livoberezhna – have been shut down over the threat, the municipally owned Kyiv Metropoliten's press service reported.
On first photos taken on the scene, there is an unidentified man wearing a face mask, according to dtp.kiev.ua, a portal about local incidents, accidents and crimes. A bag whose contents are unknown is seen beside him.
Police forces in large numbers have been pulled up there.
