Trolleybuses stopped in Kherson and buses drastically reduced

In Kherson, on May 3, 2026, trolleybuses were temporarily suspended and the number of buses on city routes was significantly limited. The reason for this was the attacks by Russian troops on public transportation the day before.

This was reported by the first deputy head of the Kherson city military administration, Mykhailo Lynetsky, on the air of a national telethon.

According to him, after the attacks on May 2, the security situation forced the city to reconsider the operation of public transportation. In the morning, only about 10 vehicles were on the routes, which is much less than the usual level.

Lynetsky also noted that the Russian side is trying to justify the shelling by spreading statements about the alleged "dual purpose" of public transportation. At the same time, the Ukrainian authorities emphasize that it is a transportation of civilians.

Currently, the city authorities, together with the Ukrainian Defense Forces, are determining further decisions regarding the operation of public transportation, taking into account the security situation.

This morning, the Russian military attacked a civilian vehicle carrying employees of a local company. The attack killed a 60-year-old man. Five other people sustained injuries of varying severity and were hospitalized.

Shortly after the first strike, the occupiers attacked again. An ambulance that arrived at the scene came under fire.

As a reminder, two people were killed in the last day as a result of Russian aggression. Another 26 people were injured, including three children.

Also, on May 1, the Russian military attacked a cyclist with a drone in the Dniprovsky district of Kherson.
A 65-year-old man was fatally wounded and died on the spot.

On April 30, at about 10:30 a.m., an enemy drone attacked a public transport stop in Kherson. As a result of the attack, a man was killed on the spot, who is currently being identified.

Recently, the occupiers dropped explosives from a drone on a garbage truck. An employee of a utility company was injured as a result of the strike.
