The MTR on Friday said all stations will open, though passengers may need more time to make their journeys as some entrances and exits had been damaged.

MTR stations have frequently been the target of anti-extradition protesters, who claim the company has sided with the government by closing stations to prevent them moving around.

On Thursday evening, the railway operator closed Kwun Tong and Ngau Tau Kok stations on the Kwun Tong Line; Tai Po Market station on the East Rail Line; and Tai Koo station on the Island Line.

It made the move following vandalism inside the stations and disturbances in some of the areas nearby.
