Kyiv hit by Russian ballistic missiles; civilians trapped under rubble, Zelensky says

Russian ballistic missiles struck civilian areas of Kyiv on October 26, including a university campus, a park, and residential buildings, with casualties reported and people possibly trapped under rubble. President Zelensky confirmed no military targets were nearby. The attack began around 22:00, hitting near a metro station, a medical team en route to a call, and a university dormitory in the Desnyanskyi district, reportedly the State Trade and Economics University. Rescue operations are ongoing. Zelensky warned of possible repeat strikes and ongoing drone attacks, urging partners to expedite air defense deliveries and provide means to destroy Russian launchers, calling delays "help for terror."
