Russian ballistic missiles strike Kyiv, killing 1 and injuring 10
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said one person was killed and 10 were injured late Monday when Russian ballistic missiles struck the capital, including a university campus, the Kyiv Independent reported.
Russian ballistic missiles struck Kyiv late on Oct. 26, killing one person and injuring 10, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said, according to the Kyiv Independent1.
The newspaper said explosions were heard about 9:45 p.m. local time in the Podilskyi and Obolon districts, minutes after Ukraine's Air Force warned that ballistic and other missiles were headed toward the capital1.
Klitschko said the fatality occurred near a supermarket and that most of those injured were university students, with nine people hospitalized1. The injured included a paramedic, a medical technician and a 20-year-old student, the Kyiv Independent reported1.
President Volodymyr Zelensky said a university campus was struck along with Kyoto Park, an area near a metro station and residential buildings, and he again asked allies for air defenses1. Klitschko said two medical facilities in the Dniprovskyi district were damaged, including shattered windows at an intensive care unit, and that explosions were heard near a metro station in the Desnyanskyi district1.
The Kyiv City Military Administration said a school building in that district was also damaged1. The Kyiv Independent described the account as developing and did not report a Russian statement on the strike1.
