Kyiv police have reinforced security in the capital's subway in the wake of Monday morning's suicide bomb attacks on the Moscow Metro.

"As a rule, the Security Service of Ukraine is responsible for fighting terrorism. Nevertheless, when the first reports about the blasts in Moscow Metro came in, Kyiv police didn’t wait for orders or meetings, but took the decision to reinforce the security at stations where there is the largest passenger flow, as well as in the passages connecting one subway line to another," the media liaison office of the Interior Ministry’s Main Department in Kyiv told Interfax-Ukraine.
