Kyiv, 26–27 Oct 2026
Ballistic missiles on a university campus, then the Southern Bridge · ~22:00 and before dawn
Shortly after 22:00 on 26 October Russian ballistic missiles hit the grounds of the State University of Trade and Economics in Kyiv's Desnianskyi district, next to Kyoto Park and Lisova metro station. Windows were blown out in the student dormitories; a school, residential buildings and two hospitals, one of them its intensive care unit, were damaged, and an ambulance crew driving to the scene was hit — two medics injured. Before dawn a second wave hit the Southern Bridge and the metro line on it for the second time in five days. Kyiv's prosecutors count 1 killed — a woman aged 46 in Dniprovskyi district — and 15 injured; the mayor counted 14 at 07:21.
